Trusting my intuition, I paint the word beneath the surface.
Message
I’ve always been guided by a strong feeling—an intuition that something in me was waiting to be expressed. I feel emotions deeply—so intensely that they often overwhelm me until I find a way to give them form. Following that pull hasn’t been easy; it led me through extreme challenges, moments that tested every ounce of strength and faith I had. Through these trials, I began to understand that life is more than what we can see, and perhaps we are co-creators of the reality we experience.
These experiences awakened me to a new way of seeing the world—as if everything around us is a living painting. I began painting every day, translating the surge of feelings, the subtle whispers of intuition, and the hidden layers of life into colour, form, and light. I attempt to capture what is felt more than what is seen—a language through which emotions become visible. My work is a journey of discovery, the unseen forces that shape us, and an invitation to pause, feel, and connect with the quiet power within.
Statement
My obsession is with truth—honest, personal, and unfiltered. I paint from the space where we begin to question everything we were taught to believe about ourselves and the world.
From an early age, we are shaped to conform: told what success looks like, what to strive for, what makes us worthy. We learn to seek validation from others, to suppress what doesn’t fit the mold. Over time, we become strangers to ourselves—disconnected from our essence, confused by the voices in our heads. My art is a rebellion against this conditioning.
Each canvas I create is an act of remembering—a return to authenticity. I use oil paint and gesture to explore the inner landscapes of emotion, contradiction, and spiritual awakening. My work is abstract expressionism rooted in feeling rather than form. It is an invitation to step into the unconscious and confront the stories we carry, the pain we inherit, and the freedom that awaits when we reclaim our truth.
I am fascinated by how deeply we identify with our beliefs, and how those beliefs shape our reality. Through color, texture, and movement, I seek to illuminate the quiet moments when we realize: we don’t have to follow the path laid out for us. We can choose discomfort over conformity, purpose over performance.
To me, success is not measured by external acclaim, but by the courage to live in alignment with one’s soul. Every painting is a step on my path—a personal revolution, a spiritual practice, a declaration of worth that needs no permission.
I don’t paint for praise. I paint to feel alive.
