In my artistic journey, I delve into the realm where figurative converges with abstract, using acrylic paint on canvas as my chosen medium. My work serves as a reflection of my own reality, a layering of experiences—an exploration of tension between tangible actions and the intangible essence of the human experience. By focusing on the spaces where human actions take place rather than portraying individuals directly, I invite viewers to engage in a dialogue with places that are resembled in my paintings, creating a visual language that communicates the complexities of human existence.

Acrylic paint, with its fast-drying nature, is my chosen tool for translating human spaces onto the canvas. The use of color, composition, and brushwork contributes to the exploration of communication between me, my work, and the audience.

Communicating and layering rooms, by purposefully including and excluding form, offers viewers a space to interpret and connect, able to project their own narrative onto the painting. The tension that my brushstrokes exhale works as a bridge for the viewer to discover the subtleness that lies between the sensible and the form. In essence, my artistic journey is a continuous exploration of the human condition, a visual narrative that explores the boundaries of conventional (re)presentation. Through acrylic paint on canvas, I aim to capture the essence of human existence, inviting viewers to join me on this crazy journey.
