WHAT ART MEANS TO ME...
Art has always been a journey of exploration for me– a way to delve into the depths of human experience, emotion, and the world we perceive around us. My work is driven by both an insatiable curiosity and poignant desire. I love the challenge to create visual narratives that resonate with both me and the viewer.
In my creative process, I often strive to capture the essence of fleeting moments. I use color, texture, and movement to provoke a visceral response and elicit an exploration of personal interpretations and connections.
​
Through my art, I aim to create a space for contemplation and conversation, where viewers can engage with the work on a personal level. I believe that art has the power to challenge perspectives, evoke emotions, and foster a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world we inhabit.
​
On the other hand, there are times that I simply want to paint something for the hell of it... because it is scenic or beautiful or intriguing. In an overly complicated world, I think there is nothing wrong at all with making art because you felt like it. Sometimes, that is exactly what the human soul needs.
