Artist Statement

My work exists at the intersection of abstraction and representation, a visual language that mirrors the fluid nature of identity and transformation. Each piece is an exploration of the self—not as a fixed entity, but as something constantly evolving, shaped by memory, intuition, and unseen forces. Layers of gestural strokes and structured forms create a dynamic tension, reflecting the push and pull between chaos and clarity, the known and the mysterious. Rooted in a belief that art is both a personal excavation and a transcendent experience, my paintings invite the viewer to step into a space where boundaries dissolve, revealing the beauty in transition and the magic of becoming.
