About me

I have always been fascinated by the experience of making art itself. The feeling of how my hands interact with the materials, the moments before and after making a trace, and the subtle changes in the way I see the nature around me. My work is an accumulation of emotions, memories, landscapes, subconscious and conscious thoughts that become the colours and shapes I interact with on canvas.

My works are primarily guided by the way I experience the world visually, through the mental notes I make during my daily chores. Another key aspect of my work is the fact that I grew up surrounded by a coastal landscape, and the changes in nature are an important theme that continues to bring life and vision to my work.

My passion is to create meaningful art, designed to make viewer feel calm, grateful and inspire courage. My minimalistic paintings reflect natures necessity of change - stillness, rawness, solitude and feeling of contentment. Hints of a deeper meaning hidden beneath the surface- ready for the viewer to explore his/her own thoughts and emotions.
