Artist statement

"Imagination, Creation & Dedication"

I give shape to the ineffable through imagination. My works preserve fragments of the soul against time and oblivion, leaving traces of my existence beyond this world.

Why I Paint

A way to explore tension, movement, intuition, and the emotional weight carried by forms, colors, and marks. An excuse to lose myself in thought and deepen my imagination. To forget the passing of time without truly losing it.
