My painting inspiration comes from the emotional impact of special events in life, exploring the multifaceted nature of humanity. I believe painting is a silent yet tangible language that honestly and originally conveys thoughts and feelings.
Art reflects the artist's knowledge and experiences, serving as a guide and medium between reality and meditation. I am drawn to the unvarnished, raw aspects of human nature and use my work to explore these distortions.
I aim to inspire and guide those in darkness toward the light through art, imbuing my works with intellectual depth to provoke thought and emotion. My techniques and colors shift with my emotional state, often bearing the marks of time to evoke memories and resonate with viewers.
I value authenticity and emotional sincerity in my work, avoiding superficiality. My art is a confidant that captures my joys and sorrows, with innovation as my creative companion. I love painting because its originality and freedom allow me to express my emotions and ideals
