In my art, I explore painting, photography, and printmaking. My primary fascination and ongoing challenge revolve around the exploration of two-dimensional spatial relationships through the interplay of form and color. My intention is to convey a feeling, an emotion, or energy that captivates and engages the viewer. At the heart of my creative process lies the delicate dance between maintaining control and embracing spontaneity, experimentation and chance. Balancing control and spontaneity is crucial for keeping the artwork alive, allowing compositions to evolve organically. In my creative process, I apply and remove media until the composition solidifies. Each piece unfolds as a unique adventure. By infusing my work with a dynamic blend of intention and spontaneity, I aim to create a resonant visual and emotional narrative, fostering a meaningful connection with the audience.
