Artist Statement
My work explores movement, rhythm, and emotional resonance through bold color and fluid, intuitive lines. I approach painting as a form of visual music—each gesture guided by breath, instinct, and the energy of the moment.
Using oil markers, acrylics, and mixed media, I create imagined worlds where color vibrates, forms dance, and abstraction becomes a language of emotion. My compositions emerge from intuition rather than planning, allowing shapes to evolve organically and narratives to reveal themselves through motion and spontaneity.
I invite viewers into a universe shaped by imagination and inner truth—a place where lines speak, colors pulse, and wonder becomes its own way of seeing.
