Statement
My work is an intuitive exploration of the relationship between imagination and the physical world. Influenced by a deep connection to nature and a decade immersed in France culture, my practice was further shaped by studying textiles at L'institut Superieur des Arts Appliqués in Paris.
I approach painting with curiosity and play, allowing each piece to evolve through layered gestures and experimentation. Textures and color are central to my process, creating surfaces that hold movement, depth and emotion.
Every painting becomes a space for reflection-an invitation for viewers to slow down, explore, and discover their own meaning.
