Statement

I'm interested in finding the beauty that emerges in the tension between balance and chaos.

Most pieces begin as accidents. I pour water onto paper, add color, and follow the paint - shaping forms only once they've already started to emerge. Sometimes the negative and positive space invert completely, and the image changes course. I rarely envision the result in advance. I'll know it when I see it.

To me, beauty is already contained in the paint, in the movement of water. My role is to remove possibilities. Each mark exists to correct something underneath - by adding layers, I'm chiseling away at what felt wrong.

I'm drawn to the tension, the organic and the graphic, the abstract and the figurative. Structure and balance are how the mind builds meaning from an image. Color and line are the material that meaning is made of.

Having lived in four countries, I've come to understand that the same world can be read in genuinely different ways. Meaning isn't fixed - it's made, and remade, by whoever is looking. A work of art is a glimpse into that process: a moment where the distance between how I see and how you see becomes visible, and expected, and worth something.
