Artist Statement

My art practice transcends the physical realm, exploring a stillness that connects the material world with the immaterial essence of existence. Growing up amidst the fragility of life and the richness of religious rituals, I developed a profound fascination with how humans create practices and narratives that transcend the tangible. For me, the creative process is inseparable from a spiritual journey, unraveling the intricate threads of life in this dimension and beyond.

Central to my work is the exploration of impermanence, imperfection, and incompleteness—threads that weave life’s complex tapestry. My earlier installations delved into rituals, sound, and spatial dynamics, while my recent body of mixed media paintings blends portraits, symbolic ephemera, and botanical elements to create pieces that feel dreamlike and intimate. I embrace the free movement of watercolor, allowing each piece to evolve organically, mirroring the ebb and flow of life itself.

Through my art, I aim to illuminate invisible connections, challenging the hierarchies imposed by the tangible and inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and stay faithful to the emotions that lie hidden in the everyday. Inspired by the depths of life, I seek to reveal the sacred knowledge of interconnectedness, where energy flows between all beings.
