STATEMENT

My paintings reflect the unseen connections between life’s beginning and end, where spirit and nature meet. Positioned between abstraction and familiarity, my work uses animals and birds as symbols of resilience, transformation, and transcendence.

Inspired by folklore and mythology, I weave ancient symbols of strength, renewal, and the cycles of life and death into my art. These universal stories breathe life into my paintings, bridging the spiritual, cultural, and personal.

Organic shapes and textures suggest creatures, landscapes, and energy flows, creating a dialogue between the seen and unseen. Each piece invites viewers to explore their own narratives, fostering a personal connection with the art.

In my current work, I experiment with materials beyond paint, creating textures and forms that give my pieces a three-dimensional quality. Fluid strokes and layered patterns combine with these elements to balance delicacy and bold gestures, reflecting nature’s duality of power and fragility. Through this process, I honor the fleeting beauty of life while celebrating its enduring strength.

Each piece becomes a meditation on life’s cycles, offering a moment of reflection and connection to timeless stories rooted in nature.
