ARTIST STATEMENT

My practice combines drawing, painting, and mixed media to explore the relationship between observation, memory, and visual reconstruction. Working from collected references, sensory impressions, photographs, and everyday encounters, I create images that shift between familiarity and transformation, where forms are fragmented, layered, and reconfigured through an intuitive process of accumulation and revision.

Botanical elements, animal structures, anatomical fragments, and details drawn from lived environments; walls, frescoes, interior surfaces, traces of architectural space, form a recurring visual vocabulary within my work. I am interested in how these motifs carry atmosphere, cultural memory, and emotional resonance, and in how the human mind preserves and perceives them through traces of time. Through layering, texture, and recomposition, organic and constructed forms coexist within compositions that remain open, fluid, and entangled.

An ongoing engagement with art history and cultural research informs my approach to creating, particularly through questions of surface, temporality, and the persistence of visual forms across different contexts. I am drawn to the ways images survive, shift, and reappear through memory, architecture, ornament, and everyday visual culture. My works move between attentive observation and more atmospheric or associative developments, allowing ambiguity and raw, diffusing compositions to coexist.

My motto, “living with art or the art of living,” reflects an understanding of artistic practice as inseparable from everyday experience. At the center of my work is a sustained attention to overlooked details and fleeting impressions, where painting and drawing become methods of preserving, translating, and reactivating encounters and fragments of the mind, through image and material. The resulting works invite a slower mode of looking, in which memory, perception, and imagination are represented through layered visual relationships.
