Statement
My work is a visual exploration of the inner landscapes we inhabit—those quiet, complex spaces where vulnerability, memory, and identity intersect. Through a blend of realism and surreal elements, I seek to capture moments of introspection and the subtle tension between comfort and isolation.
Recurring motifs—such as the human figure entwined with everyday objects, or set against dreamlike backdrops—serve as metaphors for the boundaries we inherit, the stories we tell ourselves, and the ways we navigate the world. I am drawn to the interplay between softness and strength, the seen and the hidden, and the delicate balance between solitude and connection.
Each piece is an invitation to pause and consider the emotional undercurrents that shape our experiences. Whether through the quiet defiance of a figure, the whimsy of a surreal landscape, or the intimacy of a solitary moment, my art aspires to create a space for viewers to reflect on their own journeys and the universal search for meaning and belonging.
