I am a painter and mixed-media artist working primarily with oil paint and recycled materials. My work transforms the intangible confusion of experience into physical form. Rooted in blending personal memories, dreams, and reality, my art reflects a constantly shifting perspective where time, people, and events converge. This interplay is expressed through layered collages, paintings, and sculptural objects, each embodying the way disparate elements merge to form a cohesive whole.

The people and places I encounter deeply influence me. I see power and vulnerability as closely connected, yet also as two extremes. This is a dynamic I have been exploring in my work, particularly through literal distortion and the overlapping of these feelings. My process involves untangling where my experiences either align with or contradict those of others.

I invite viewers to reflect on the blurred line between reality and memories and encourage finding meaning in this chaos.. Through this, I aim to evoke the complexity of personal experience. While I remember an event, someone else may remember it differently. My work reflects my own personal journey, where seemingly contradictory qualities; spontaneity and meticulous attention to detail, come together. As I continue to evolve as an artist, I strive for my work to reflect the constant adaptation and shifting of the world around me, as well as my own experiences.
