Art is presence.
A silent dialogue between form and emotion.
It awakens, it resonates, it endures.

aRTIST sTATEMENT

I create to reveal what cannot be spoken. My work is a dialogue between matter and emotion, presence and absence, the visible and the unseen. Each painting and sculpture is a search for the threshold where intimacy and mystery meet.
Charcoal, clay and mixed media are not just materials to me—they are living carriers of memory and silence. When I sculpt, I unearth forms that feel ancient yet immediate. When I paint, I capture states of being that hover between light and shadow, never fully contained, always in transformation.
I am drawn to the human condition: desire, vulnerability, resilience. My figures emerge and dissolve, fragile yet powerful, inviting the viewer to recognize themselves within the work.
My aim is not to decorate, but to move, to unsettle, to resonate. I want my art to linger beyond the moment of encounter, to awaken a memory or a hidden longing. For me, art is not possession—it is presence. It is an encounter that transcends time, touching what is eternal, unspoken, and profoundly human.
