ARTIST’S STATEMENT

In my artistic journey, I engage in a symbiotic dance between the realms of existence and the abstract, nourishing my spirit along this creative path. While I align myself with the essence of an expressionist painter, my intention is to channel emotions and inner landscapes, prioritizing the conveyance of feelings over a mere representation of external scenes.
