Artist Statement
Through the vibrant and emotive world of abstract oil painting, I embark on a journey of self-expression. Each stroke of color, each interplay of shapes and lines, serves as a conduit for my innermost feelings and reflections. Guided by intuition and a love for colors, shapes, and lines, each painting is a quest of discovery. It is a reflection of my personal emotions, thoughts, and feelings, establishing a dialogue between myself and the canvas. Central to my artistic practice is the exploration of creating active compositions with layers of texture and vibrant hues. Through this process, I invite viewers to explore and connect with the history embedded within each piece. Embracing the spontaneity inherent in my process, I celebrate self-expression and the transformative power of art. Each painting stands as a testament to the power of self-expression and the beauty that can be found in even the most challenging moments of creation.
Ultimately, my art serves as an invitation—a call to explore the boundless possibilities of emotion, thought, and expression. Through vibrant colors and evocative forms, I aim to spark connections and ignite imaginations, leaving an indelible impression on those who encounter my work.
