"Painting is my most intimate language, a way to communicate what I cannot express through words and to confront my emotions. My work, influenced by architecture and urban life, combines layers, emotional brushstrokes, and vibrant colors. Through female faces, flowers, and abstract elements, I explore the connection between the human, the natural, and the urban. I paint to create a dialogue between the internal and external, the traditional and the contemporary, transforming spaces and inviting viewers to connect with their own essence."

Artist Statement
My work explores the intangible, transforming emotions into visual narratives that resonate universally. Through brushstrokes and layers, I construct deeply personal stories where each mark reflects a tension between control and chaos, revelation and concealment. My mixed-media technique—integrating oil, acrylic, spray paint, crayon, and charcoal—represents a metaphor for integration, demonstrating how diverse elements coexist in harmony. Color serves as emotional energy, infusing my pieces with vitality and intensity, while the female faces I paint convey profound human connections, bridging the realms of the human, the natural, and the urban.
As an architect, my understanding of space enhances the reach of my work, extending beyond the canvas to interact organically with its surroundings. This spatial perspective, combined with the boldness of urban art and the vibrancy of pop art, creates a dynamic interplay between technique, emotion, and context. My murals and large-scale works embody this vision, transforming spaces into immersive extensions of my artistic exploration. Ultimately, my painting is a form of reconciliation—an intimate dialogue with my emotions and an invitation for others to connect with their own. It is a celebration of diversity, a visual language that bridges the intimate and the universal. |
