My paintings envision spaces where observed, idyllic, and symbolic realities overlap. Examining these layers feels urgent in today’s atmosphere of sensory overload. Chaos and calm intertwine. Paint becomes a way to create immersive settings that invite the viewer to pause and contemplate. Through color, ambiguity, and symbolic figures, I construct environments where external worlds and interior psychological states meet.
