Artist Statement
Painting began as a way to make sense of personal grief, a process of release rather than outcome. Over time, it evolved into an exploration of resilience, joy, and the complexity of human emotion. My work moves between lyrical abstraction and structured forms, each approach reflecting a different emotional state.
Circles appear often, symbolizing renewal and the cycles of challenge and growth. In brighter moments, bold colors and playful compositions capture lightness and joy. In quieter times, structured shapes and layered textures offer focus and calm. My paintings often reflect on emotional resilience and the beauty of imperfection. Through every series, I aim to create work that resonates with viewers on a personal level: work that offers hope, invites curiosity, and honors both the messy and beautiful parts of being human.
