ARTIST’S STATEMENT
"A constant urge exists through time to experience something different in life. Through a distinct perspective, I discover magnificence in the most unassuming moments and revel in the profound process of translating ordinary visuals into extraordinary creative expressions.
I believe that every visual we encounter holds meaning, whether it's the walls we see, the wires on poles, or the weathered metal of buildings. Even letters, hieroglyphics, and asemic writing fascinate me and spark my creativity. My art is a reflection of my imagination, insights, and the stories I want to tell through layers and shapes.”
