​

I create abstract compositions on both small and large scales, primarily painting on paper but also on canvas. I use brushes along with various recyclable materials and everyday objects, allowing the textures and imprints of each material to shape the final composition. My surfaces are often filled with repetitive traces, forming a rhythmic and organic visual language.

When I paint, my mind drifts between deep thought and emptiness—until I become completely immersed in the process. My fears, anxieties, and questions gradually transform into abstract shapes and forms, constructing labyrinths, webs, and grids that reflect the depths of my inner world. Sometimes monochromatic, other times vibrant, my works are always in search of balance, while I am constantly looking for an "emergency exit"—a pathway back to reality.
