Artist Statement

My art explores the invisible energy connecting all living things and the space in between, questioning what reality exists beyond what we can see and touch.

I work in both figurative and abstract styles, with abstract forms derived from natural structures. I translate elements from our surroundings, plants, geological formations, natural phenomena, and architecture, into a cohesive visual language.

I do not paint things as they look, I paint them as energy, movement and connection.

Fascinated by the space between objects, I extract and invert that space into forms, making the in-between the subject itself.

This thinking is rooted in Taoism, which sees the world as one connected whole. A core Taoist idea is that emptiness is not absence, it is living and functional.

My practice moves between painting and ceramics, two forms of expression that often intertwine and complement one another, both serving the same vision, the same message.

My painting process is intuitive and accumulative, built through layers of translucent paint using glazing technique, repetitive line work, and gradual surface development. I allow forms to emerge slowly rather than beginning from a fixed composition, creating a sense of energetic flow across the composition elements that feel fluid and interconnected.

I primarily work with oil on canvas, but I often incorporate acrylics, oil pastel, metal leaf and ashes, allowing material texture and physical matter to become part of the conceptual and emotional structure of the work.

By rejecting conventional spatial orientation and gravitational order, I create compositions that remain fluid and non-hierarchical. The paintings are intended to be experienced from different angles, reflecting my interest in interconnected systems, movement, and shifting perception.

In my ceramics, I make the space between two flowers into a vase. The tension in my work is that the viewer is left holding two realities at once: the flowers, and the form born from the space between them, inviting one to look not at things, but at what lives between them.
