Artist statement

I create introspective works, that dvelves into the intricate tapestry of human relationships, reflecting on the quest for belonging and the dynamics of interpersonal bonds. Each work becomes a narrative tableau, capturing moments of intimacy, vulnerability, and resilience. My work is typically intuitive and evolves over time by adding layers of colors and lines. The color palette is muted, sometimes close to monochrome, which brings tranquility to the painting.
