Artist Statement

I create intuitive abstract paintings that begin with loose, unplanned marks and build through a dialogue between spontaneity and structure. There is no predetermined composition or palette. I draw first, introduce black and white, then gradually layer color, responding to each mark as it appears. The process moves back and forth between intuition and deliberate decision-making until order emerges from the accumulation.

Nature and landscape are my visual language, but I am not painting actual places. Forms suggesting water, terrain, or organic growth are inner landscapes, invented and felt rather than observed. They allow me to translate emotion, memory, and lived experience onto the canvas in ways that literal depiction cannot.

These paintings are personal and authentic, but their meaning is not fixed. I am not interested in purely decorative abstraction. I want the viewer to enter the work on their own terms and form a genuine connection. What the painting holds is open; what it offers belongs to whoever stands before it.
