Artist Statement:
My paintings are a unique visual language of color and line. The vibrant colors of the world inspire me, and my experiences observing flora—especially tropical plants—and natural formations like lakes, mountains, and beaches, live vividly in my mind and transfer onto my canvas. With a deep appreciation for nature, I use the rhythm and interplay of color and line to express the movement of plants and sky.
I enjoy weaving and intertwining lines and colors to create vivid expressions of my perception of landscapes. Through my work, I aim to engage and move the viewer, inviting them to experience moments that have left lasting impressions in my mind. These moments I paint speak to the preciousness of time and space.
As I work on a painting, the image often seems to emerge without a clear understanding at first—until suddenly, it becomes clear to me. This process can be deeply emotional, reconnecting me to the moment I originally experienced. I hope my works resonate with viewers, offering them a lasting visual experience that lingers beyond the canvas.
