Artist Statement

Abstraction is something that can be observed in everything - if one looks close enough. I believe the abstract nature of the world lies not in the grand view, but in the fine details: the textures, the fragments, the fleeting impressions that often go unnoticed. My work invites viewers to notice these overlooked fragments by engaging deeply with layered compositions of color and form.

I work primarily in acrylic and colored pencil, building up my paintings through a process of intuitive layering. Each layer responds to the one beneath it, creating depth, tension, and unexpected harmony. These layers are not just physical—they reflect layers of thought, memory, and internal dialogue. In this way, my process mirrors the way we perceive the world: not all at once, but in pieces, accumulations, and revisions.

For me, the act of creating is a deeply internal process. True abstraction originates from the mind—from memory, emotion, and subconscious connection—rather than from direct representation of the outside world. And yet, the outside world is always present. It seeps in through my color palettes inspired by a passing moment, music, or textures evoked by natural forms and processes. We are always observing, always absorbing, and that constant intake finds its way into the work, whether intentionally or not.

Ultimately, my paintings are about looking closer—at the everyday, at the internal, and at the interplay between what is hidden and what is revealed; they are spaces for reflection and observation.
