My artistic process is deeply influenced by the malleable nature of light and memory, and I aim to create works that reflect this fluidity and complexity. Through a layered and spontaneous process of erasure painting and constant editing, I create compositions that capture the ebb and flow of recollections and emotions. By using motifs, symbols, and truisms, I create works that resonate with viewers’ own memories and experiences, inviting them to explore the intricacies of their own inner worlds.

At the same time, my art is rooted in the broader history of art, building on the techniques and traditions of the past while also embracing contemporary approaches to creativity and self-expression. Through a focus on the actual artistic practice, I seek to create works that are intellectually engaging, emotionally resonant, and deeply personal, while also celebrating the beauty of the human experience in all its richness and complexity.
