About the Artist
My work is a fusion of texture and emotion, built through a meticulous process of layering and weathering. I use thick oil and acrylic paint mixed with seashell porcelain powder, graffito, and marble dust, engraving after each layer before sending it down to the base. This technique allows for a multidimensional effect, where each layer reveals traces of the one before it, much like memories embedded in time.
Through this process, the paintings gain depth, both physically and emotionally. The tension between bold strokes and delicate textures mirrors the balance of fragility and resilience. The contrast of smooth and rough surfaces tells a story of transformation—where imperfections become part of the work’s identity,
My work is an exploration of the unsaid - the emotions that exist in the spaces between words, the moments we hold close but cannot name. Each piece emerges from a dialogue between color, texture, and memory, where emotion takes shape in layers and lines.
Bold strokes and vibrant hues reflect the intensity of life's connections - fleeting yet profound. The blue expanse in one painting symbolizes both freedom and stillness, a space where the chaos of the world is quieted. The interplay of red and black lines carries the tension between fragility and strength, creating a rhythm that speaks to resilience amidst vulnerability.
Through my work, I strive to celebrate the beauty in imperfection, the tenderness in strength, and the grace found in simply being human.
