Artform: Painting
I grew up in a village surrounded by woods, where prehistoric art whispered stories and jungle streams sang. My work emerges from this landscape, a place rich with untold tales and unexplored paths.
In my work, I seek to push beyond the confines of linear language into a realm where thoughts lay unspoken. I explore this space with figures, forms and hues.
The sense of form, spatial composition, and texture are similar to musical melodies, composition, and harmony. I heavily rely on abstract figures, earthy palette and natural forms and materials; when they are recombined and rearranged, they become evocative like the dance of nature itself.
