I create original artworks, commissioned pieces, and limited edition prints — bridging fine art with applied forms. My practice focuses on abstract compositions on paper and canvas, blending brushwork with recycled materials and everyday objects. The textures and imprints of these elements shape rhythmic, organic surfaces filled with repetitive traces.
My creative process is a journey between introspection and immersion. Fears and questions transform into labyrinths, webs, and grids — visual reflections of my inner world. Sometimes monochrome, sometimes vibrant, my work constantly seeks balance while searching for an “emergency exit” back to reality.
