ARTIST STATEMENT

My work lives between atmosphere and story — shaped by intuition, memory, and a deep attention to mood and expression. Working across fine art, mixed media, digital creation and sound, I am drawn to subtle landscapes, emotional residue, and the quiet architecture of feeling. My practice invites viewers into moments of stillness — places where emotion lingers and meaning reveals itself slowly.
