Statement

My painting process is raw, instinctive, and deeply connected to emotion. Each piece takes shape in a whirlwind of movement, its speed and intensity reflecting my inner state. I begin with a custom tool of my own design, layering hand-mixed colors and mediums onto the canvas in a way that feels both spontaneous and deliberate.

Working primarily with acrylics and ink, I embrace chemical reactions that introduce unexpected depth and texture. My unique tool allows me to work at a pace that matches my restless energy, creating deep, saturated tones interwoven with translucent layers—often described as the “tissue paper effect.” Through years of refining this process, I’ve developed an innate understanding of the precise pressure and pigment balance needed to achieve my signature aesthetic.

Guided by process and color rather than rigid concepts, my work invites viewers to engage with the raw movement and layered complexity of my technique. Each piece speaks in a visual language uniquely my own—one born of intuition, experimentation, and a fearless embrace of the unknown.
