ARTIST’S STATEMENT

As an artist, my style embodies abstract expressionism. I believe in conveying emotions through my paintings rather than presenting a clear and distinct image of my feelings and visions.

My primary technique revolves around acrylics, but I often incorporate various other techniques depending on the theme and collection, such as monoprinting or diverse sizes and tools of hatching, or even embroidery. Nevertheless, painting serves as a medium for expressing my emotions, thoughts, and worldview.

In essence, my artwork serves as a conduit for exploring the depths of human emotion and perception, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the abstract landscapes of my mind and experience the raw, unfiltered essence of existence.
