Artist Statement
My art is a visual meditation.
I seek solace and serenity through my work. My canvas serves as a personal sanctuary where chaos and stillness harmoniously coexist.
My artwork centers on the theme of water, weaving it seamlessly with the grace and beauty of flowers, the whimsy of bubbles, and the enigmatic presence of women.
The thick, lustrous texture of oil paint and the mesmerizing combination of acrylics and resin allows me to boldly disrupt the intimidating purity of the blank canvas, transforming it into a realm of colors, shapes, and lines, a canvas teeming with life and emotion.
These components converge to create a tableau that resonates with mysticism and surrealism, inviting the viewer into a meditative and peaceful realm.
