Artist statement 

My work exists in the space between figuration and abstraction, where personal experience, natural forms, and symbolism converge. I approach painting and sculpture as arenas for inquiry—an ongoing conversation between material, intuition, and concept. For as long as I can remember, I have felt an internal drive to create, using art as a way to question, reflect, and explore.

At the core of my practice is a fascination with the organic—both in nature and in process. The animal world recurs throughout my work, not as a literal subject but as a source of movement, symbolism, and myth. Dolphins, roosters, and sheep emerge as charged figures, bridging instinct and metaphor. Coral formations and botanical motifs extend this dialogue, their growth and fluidity mirroring my own evolving approach to composition. The human form, particularly the female body, has long been central to my exploration, embodying tensions between strength and vulnerability, presence and absence.

Color is more than a formal element in my work—it is an emotional force. I use bold, saturated hues to evoke energy, harmony, and friction, allowing color to act as both structure and sensation. Spontaneity plays an essential role in my process; I embrace accident, intuition, and the lessons that emerge from experimentation. In recent years, I have pushed my materials further, incorporating metal wire and assembled sculptural elements. This shift has allowed me to move beyond the pursuit of perfection, embracing instead the possibilities of construction and deconstruction.

One of the most enduring symbols in my work is the sphere. Whether referencing celestial bodies, biological structures, or metaphysical wholeness, the sphere speaks to ideas of continuity, transformation, and interconnectedness. These forms appear and reappear, sometimes in vibrant arrangements, sometimes in monochromatic stillness—always as invitations to interpret and engage.

I have been engaged in an ongoing process of clay exploration—pushing its boundaries, surrendering to its limitless possibilities. Recently, my approach to creation has become increasingly fluid and spontaneous, guided by a willingness to embrace experimentation and the lessons of trial and error. Paradoxically, this openness stems from deep experience with materials; it is precisely through mastery that I have found the freedom to let go.

Discovery and surprise have become integral to my practice, leading me toward new and unexpected realms of artistic growth. I continue to expand my material vocabulary, incorporating elements such as metal wire and shifting away from the pursuit of perfection. In some works, new forms emerge through the assembly of disparate fragments—a process that mirrors the organic, evolving nature of creation itself.
