Artist’s Statement
I paint based on reality and observations of both the outer and inner worlds. I strive to highlight the beauty and goodness around us, but I am also committed to raising questions and bringing forward what is unseen or not discussed at all.
My paintings often become abstract yet expressive, and I always carry my own narratives within them. I frequently write down thoughts and reflections related to the theme I am working on, often in the form of poetry.
A constant part of my drive is an everlasting curiosity — a desire to keep learning and discovering new things. A spilled drop of milk on the table can become the impulse and the beginning of a landscape, a painting, or an entire series of works.
I am also an idealist who believes in change and in the importance of every small contribution. I engage in issues concerning the environment, human well-being, and existential questions. At the moment, sacredness is an important theme in my work.
I want to offer hope and joy despite the heaviness and hopelessness that surround us.
