Artist Statement
My abstract work explores what lies beneath appearances. Through layered color, rhythmic lines, and organic movement, I dissolve fixed forms to reveal a deeper, living reality. Working with oil markers, acrylics, and mixed media, I create intuitive compositions where color vibrates and forms evolve freely, guided by spontaneity rather than pre-defined structure. Rather than representing the visible world, my paintings invite viewers to move beyond recognition—into sensation, emotion, and unity. In this space, the Veil of Māyā thins, and perception shifts toward presence, imagination, and inner truth.
