ABOUT

ARTIST STATEMENT

My work explores the intersections of identity, memory, and perception through a dynamic blend of photography, painting, and digital manipulation. By layering reflective surfaces with geometric patterns, I create a dialogue between the abstract and the real, inviting viewers to engage with the fluid boundaries of self-perception.

Each piece challenges the viewer to navigate the space between order and chaos, structure and spontaneity. My use of grids and repetition echoes Minimalist traditions, yet the incorporation of photographic elements introduces a narrative layer, adding depth and complexity to the visual experience.

Through this multidisciplinary approach, I aim to create a body of work that is both introspective and universally resonant, offering a space for contemplation and connection. The integration of digital and physical media in my work reflects a contemporary exploration of timeless themes, bridging the gap between the personal and the collective.
