My commitment as an artist is to encourage my audience to experience the world through my eyes, transcending the ordinary. Nature's tapestry serves as my muse, from intricate forms and patterns of flowers to sweeping landscapes. The butterfly, a magical winged messenger, is an essential detail in my work. Vivid or discrete, they appear in every piece, representing the spirit of my mother, indicating she is always with me.
My artistic journey always begins with these natural motifs, exploring the play of light and spontaneous bursts of color. With the flexibility of fluid and robust acrylics, combined with texturing agents, I guide the paint until it evolves into abstract allure. I am an explorer on the canvas, building layers, diminishing elements. I focus on detail and depth, while utilizing distinct color palettes. My work is continuously redefined, ensuring each piece evolves with its own personality.
Nature’s multifaceted, visual language fuels my ardor. As an artist, I relish in being malleable and revealing versatility; however, I alternately enjoy composing geometric abstracts, which enables me to disperse innovative concepts that can coexist with organic elements. My paramount ambition is to create intriguing visuals that not only captivate the observer but also ignite their imagination!
