Artist's Statement
My work is born from intuition, guided by spontaneity, and shaped by a quiet curiosity about the mysteries of existence. I am drawn to that liminal space where the visible meets the invisible—where color and form become portals into something deeper. Through painting, I seek to merge the personal and the collective, the material and the metaphysical, allowing energy to move through me and onto the surface.
As a woman rooted in the rhythms of nature, I experience the world through my body—sunrise and sunset, birth and decay, becoming and dissolving. These are not just natural phenomena to me; they are visceral experiences that speak directly to my soul. In this way, the physical form becomes a sacred vessel, a way to feel and express both the tangible and the unseen.
My practice reflects an ongoing dialogue between the inner and outer realms. It is both a mirror and a bridge—inviting viewers to slow down, to feel, to connect. While the feminine figure has long served as a central motif in my work,

My practice reflects an ongoing dialogue between the inner and outer realms. It is both a mirror and a bridge—inviting viewers to slow down, to feel, to connect. While the feminine figure has long served as a central motif in my work, I now find myself moving toward a more fluid interplay of layers of color, light, form, and abstraction. In this space, I can explore what lies beneath the surface—where spirit, emotion, and matter intertwine.
