My work explores the dialogue between inner experience and material process. I see painting as a space for reflection, where each gesture traces thoughts and emotions while also probing what remains hidden. The act of drawing, layering, and incising the surface functions like an excavation—uncovering fragments of memory and emotional states that would otherwise remain invisible.

Though abstract, my practice is nourished by the rhythms of the natural world—its cycles of growth, erosion, and transformation—as a way of observing change within human experience. Guided by memory and intuition, I seek a balance between presence and absence, construction and erasure.

In this space, painting ceases to be representation and becomes a process of revelation, where personal narratives intertwine with broader notions of time and continuity.
