painting
My artistic practice is currently intuitive and rooted in exploring sensations, states, and the essence of human existence. Primarily working with abstraction, I embrace the unpredictable nature of liquid acrylics on unprimed canvas, allowing me to engage with materials in a way that captures fleeting moments and feelings. Through my series, such as “Where We Feel Good” and “Quintessence,” I invite viewers to connect with their own experiences of presence, while my ongoing “Vases” series delves into the symbolism of inner space and the essence that fills it, creating a reflective space for personal recognition.
Artist statement
My artistic practice is intuitive and rooted in the exploration of human experience, emotion, and the essence of being. Through abstraction, I move away from literal imagery, creating space for personal interpretation and emotional connection.
I work primarily with fluid acrylic on raw canvas, allowing the material to behave freely and unpredictably. Process plays a central role in my work — I am interested in observing how color moves, blends, dissolves, and forms its own visual language. Rather than fully controlling the outcome, I collaborate with the medium and respond to what emerges naturally during the painting process.
My works often originate from memories, emotional states, and sensory experiences connected to nature, light, warmth, and presence. They reflect quiet moments that are deeply familiar yet often overlooked — sunlight on skin, silence after rain, the feeling of being fully immersed in a place or state of mind.
My ongoing series expand different aspects of these themes.
“There, where we feel good” explores feelings of calmness, belonging, and connection through landscapes and atmospheric memories.
“Quintessence” focuses on pure sensation and presence, reducing imagery to its emotional and physical essence.
The “Vases” series shifts inward, using the vase as a metaphor for the inner human space — what we carry, preserve, and allow to grow within ourselves.

Through color, texture, and abstraction, I aim to create contemplative spaces where viewers can pause, feel, and recognize something personal within the work.
