My artistic practice is rooted in an intuitive and spiritual process. Working exclusively with oil paints, I layer each piece spontaneously, forgoing preliminary sketches. This approach allows each mark to carry weight and resonance, creating a unique visual language where my emotions unfold organically. Using brushes, palette knives, and my hands, I build textures and depth, achieving a relief effect that interacts beautifully with light, lending a dynamic, dimensional quality to my work. This three-dimensional quality compels the senses to dive deeper, encouraging exploration of the complexities and nuances within the piece. I am deeply moved by the idea that each viewer will connect with my work in their own way, drawing out personal meanings and reflections. I intentionally leave titles open-ended to invite viewers on their own journey of self-exploration.
