ABOUT
My work explores the emotional architecture of the human experience. Through bold color, layered textures, and expressive forms, I seek to reveal the unconscious motivations that shape our decisions, our relationships, and our sense of identity. I use art as a place to question the stories we tell ourselves — the moments when rationality and emotion collide, contradict, or blur into one another.
Each piece begins with a feeling before it becomes a form. I paint the tension between our inner dialogues: the desire to appear logical while being driven by impulses we rarely acknowledge; the conflict between who we are and who we project; the fragile balance between vulnerability and control. In my work, these internal contradictions become visible — not to resolve them, but to understand them.
Color is my language. Its intensity mirrors the complexity of the human psyche, capturing what we avoid saying out loud. Texture becomes the residue of memory, layered like the histories we carry. Figures emerge and dissolve, symbolizing the shifting states of being that define us.
My intention is not to provide answers but to spark dialogue — to invite viewers into a shared space of reflection, curiosity, and self-awareness. Art becomes the moment where we confront ourselves honestly, without the defenses we use to navigate the world. In this confrontation, I believe we find clarity, connection, and the possibility of transformation.
