Artist Statement

"My practice explores liminality: the shifting space between abstraction and figuration, myth and lived experience, darkness and illumination. I am drawn to how painting can hold uncertainty — a threshold where forms emerge and dissolve — and how light functions as both subject and metaphor in these in-between states. Music runs through this process as rhythm and structure, shaping the flow of each composition and echoing the cadences of perception itself.

Through slow, layered processes, I cultivate a space where looking requires patience and truth arises in flux rather than resolution. Works such as Amber Lights (2023) immerse the viewer in swirling, glowing fields that suggest presence but resist fixed meaning, evoking landscapes that are both celestial and bodily. Others, like Footsteps; I from When the Sun Met the Moon (2023), move toward narrative intimacy — a solitary figure guided by fragile pools of light, suspended between void and illumination.

Across abstraction and figuration, my practice is united by an exploration of transition, transformation, and the human impulse to seek light in obscurity. Each painting becomes a site of unfolding perception, where myth, memory, and rhythm converge to create a visual composition that is at once uncertain, immersive, and resonant."
