Artist Statement
My artistic practice is deeply rooted in the dynamic interplay between internal and external environments. I am fascinated by the ways in which human struggles intersect with the intricate complexities of the natural world, and it is this intersection that serves as the cornerstone of my creative exploration.
Through my work, I seek to bridge the gap between these two realms, weaving together elements of form, composition, and color to craft a visual narrative that speaks to the profound connections between humanity and the environment. Drawing upon memories and personal experiences, I delve into the rich tapestry of imagery associated with different places, allowing these impressions to inform and shape my artistic expression.
