Statement
My artistic practice is primarily developed through collage and painting.
In my works, there is a search for spontaneity; each torn paper cut,
each brushstroke denotes the gesture of an instant. Superposition, integration, and
texture are central concepts in the process of my work.
Each brushstroke and each layer of paper represents a way of remembering and integrating
what has been experienced. A visual narrative about memory and integration, where the fragmented
is reunited, the ephemeral is fixed, and the intimate is connected. It is a tribute to what endures, to
what is repaired, and to the beauty of uniting what seemed separated.
