Artist Statement:
I am an expressionist artist, I describe my artwork as a form of visual poetry. I believe art is a connecting force of good that goes beyond borders, instituting that art is a form of universal language by which all comprehend. I seek to connect with people through my visual world aspiring for the world to come together through the arts. I am an avid nature lover where contemplating upon nature helps me reach inner peace and attain moments of Zen. My work incorporates elements of nature that symbolizes the relationship between the individual and the natural world reflecting a shared sense of existence and interconnectedness. The artwork aspires to be a bridge that intersects the connectivity of art and nature accentuating its significance and benefits on humans. My work captures the essence of time, movement and memory in a lyrical way. In my art, dreamlike images appear presenting a deeper exploration of the subconscious mind. Hence, the work takes a philosophical approach that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination, offering viewers a glimpse into an inner world reflecting the endurance of the human spirit. The interwoven themes within my work maintain a focus on the human experience and emotional depth. Thus, my art strives to deliver a meditative sentiment in a poetic way in the hopes of transcending the viewer to a higher realm where calm, peace and harmony align.

Moreover, my paintings also express a sense of serenity and hope while evoking the idea of embracing the present and acknowledging life’s cyclical nature reinforcing the appreciation of the beauty around one before it fades. I aspire through my modern landscapes to evoke a call to pause and focus on nature’s ephemeral beauty and our place within it. Consequently, I seek through my abstracted landscapes to bring attention to the beauty and delicate moments that exist in life, encouraging reflection and mindfulness.

Overall, symbolism and impermanence lie at the heart of my practice that through abstraction, I aim to reflect the fragility of life and the constant cycles of change one endures. At the end, my work invites viewers to contemplate the delicate, often overlooked dimensions of existence bringing forth an emphasis on interoception.
