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.

In this fast-paced world, I need time for contemplation.
In this collection, I experience creating artistic pieces and meditation simultaneously using a combination of acrylic technique and embroidery to create a certain space.
