Artist’s Statement
Viewing life as a continuous flow rather than a series of separate events shifts the artist’s perspective. For me, art becomes a bridge between the past, the present, and the future—a way to weave together experience, emotion, and possibility into a single visual language. This continuum is reflected in nature: from the humble seed that becomes a towering tree, to its return to the earth, enriching what comes next.
This cycle echoes on a broader scale—the rising and setting of the sun, the turning of the seasons, and the earth’s path around the sun. In this rhythm, I find my place. When creating, I often feel like a conduit for something larger, a universal force expressing itself through my hands and intuition.
My current series of abstract works explores these ideas more deeply, emphasizing movement, circular energy, and introspective discovery. These pieces represent not just creative expression but an inward journey—reflections of my intuitive self.
The outer world constantly shifts—streams reroute or dry up entirely—but the inner world remains potent. It is within this interior space that I search for renewal. Each painting is part of that quest, a space where I hope both I and the viewer can experience a sense of regeneration and emotional resonance.
