Artist Statement

My artistic approach diverges from traditional aesthetics; I am drawn to the energy and emotions within spaces rather than superficial appearances. Through my work, I aim to convey these unspoken emotions, delving beneath the surface to reveal hidden truths. I do not consider myself to possess innate artistic talent in the conventional sense; rather, my strength lies in my perception of individuals and my ability to translate these observations into art. Integrating words into my paintings, serves to anchor my art and amplify its message, ensuring broader resonance and recognition.
