Statement

​

My paintings grow out of a mix of structure and improvisation, where the familiar and the uncertain meet. I take a visionary approach to my work, drawing heavily on imaginative evocation – and creating forms that hint at figures, entities, buildings, or spaces, but which never settle into anything specific. I want the paintings to remain slippery, open-ended, and yet somehow familiar.

​

Color plays a central role, functioning both emotionally and structurally, and shifting between the playful and the unsettling. I’m attracted to chromatic relationships that are at once harmonious and dissonant—acidic pinks, electric blues, muted violets, and earthy browns – colors that shouldn’t work together, but somehow do.

​

I’m drawn to things that feel strange but meaningful, awkward but resonant. I want each painting to convey that sense of mystery, tension, and transformation. At its core, my practice is about pushing the language of abstraction into a 21st-century context—one shaped by complexity, contradiction, and stimulation/information overload. We live in a time when images, data, information, and opinions collide in constant motion (and distraction), leaving little space for stillness or reflection. Abstraction, for me, offers a counterpoint to that noise: a space for uncertainty, for slowing down, and for experiencing the unresolved. In this sense, painting, for me, becomes a way to navigate the chaos—an act of coherence within the fragmentation.
