Artists statement
As an artist, my work is a continuous exploration of self-identity, emotional depth, and the tension between fragmentation and unity. My paintings often resemble collages of feelings, reflections of shattered glass, mirroring my own inner journey of assembling myself piece by piece. Art, for me, is not just about creating images—it is a process of self-discovery, a way to externalize the emotions and thoughts that words cannot fully capture.
I navigate themes of personal transformation, feminine energy, and inner strength, drawing from my experiences as a woman, a mother, and a creative soul. My works are deeply emotional, often balancing between delicate vulnerability and raw intensity. I believe that each painting holds a story, an imprint of a moment, an unspoken dialogue with the viewer.
At the core of my artistic philosophy lies the idea that art is a living entity—it breathes, evolves, and connects. I invite my audience to not only observe but to feel, to resonate, to find their own reflections within my works. Every brushstroke carries intention, and every canvas becomes a space for introspection and emotional dialogue.
Through my work, I strive to create more than just visuals; I create portals into the subconscious, echoes of personal histories, and spaces of emotional connection. My art is not about providing answers—it is about inviting questions, encouraging exploration, and allowing each observer to complete the story in their own way.
