Artist statement

My works are introspective and meditative interpretations of the human situation imbued with a sense of uncertain time. My source of inspiration is the dichotomy of existence; the inelegance and the beauty; the subconscious and conscious; the spiritual and the physical. My work is based on themes of beauty, imperfections, and the construction and deconstruction of form and identity.

By exploring human identity and subjectivity in a world, I combine personal percipience and transfer them through my imagination, make connections without judgment and put them in sight.
