ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My paintings are a visual exploration of movement, emotion, and transformation. Each piece evolves naturally, guided by energy and intention, where shapes and colors take on a life of their own. I am drawn to the rhythm of contrast, softness and intensity, fluidity and structure, allowing each work to unfold organically. My process is one of discovery, a constant search for new ways to express what cannot be spoken. Through my art, I invite viewers to engage beyond the surface, to feel, interpret, and connect in their own way.
