Meet the artist!
Statement
My art is a perpetual dialogue—an ongoing exchange between myself and the world around me. It is a response to the myriad stimuli that shape my existence—be it the nuances of everyday experiences, the resonance of literature, the vibrancy of colors, the cadence of quotes, or the emotive power of music. Even the interest in new material and the urge to explore it. My art boldly occupies space, echoing the resolution of the struggles that birthed it. It serves as both a vessel for my journey and a mirror reflecting the human experience. I confront my inner turmoil, transforming it into a visual testament to resilience and growth. My creative process becomes a cathartic dance—a means of untangling complexities and finding clarity amidst chaos.
