ARTIST STATEMENT

As an artist, I am deeply inspired by the natural world and the ocean’s infinite beauty. My work is a reflection of my love for vibrant landscapes, the power of the sea, and the sense of wonder that comes from exploring new places. Having lived in six different countries, I carry with me a kaleidoscope of cultural influences that shape my perspective and enrich my creative process.

I am fascinated by the interplay of colours, textures, and bold contrasts, which I use to create artwork that feels both graphic and organic. Through my art, I strive to capture the essence of the environments I love—places that evoke freedom, vitality, and connection to nature.

Each piece I create tells a story of exploration, adventure, and the joy of immersing oneself in the outdoors. I hope my work inspires viewers to see the world with fresh eyes and to feel the same passion for nature that fuels my creative journey.
