STATEMENT
Driven by a deep curiosity about the human condition and the complexities of the inner world, we call the mind, I explore the depths of emotion through abstract expressionism and surrealism. I employ expressive brushwork, textured surfaces, and monochromatic palettes to evoke visceral responses. I create works that transcend personal narratives and invite viewers to connect with universal emotions. Ultimately, I seek to spark introspection and foster a sense of interconnectedness within oneself, encouraging a profound exploration of the human experience.
