Artist statement
I paint to find answers – is it possible to have a different world, different sunsets, a different me… When I put paint on the canvas, everything starts to get organized, nature emerges from the chaos, verses of the human face, characters, secrets that have not been realized are revealed. I feel like a new explorer-traveler who still has a lot of unknown things to experience.
The painting is a surprise to yourself – you never know what the final result will be. Making the unknown and the impossible possible is what painting is for me. Visual perception is an important part of life. The process of painting is a way of revealing yourself to yourself and others.
