Artist Statement

Inspired by the ever-flowing energies of existence, the wonders of nature, and the captivating contours of the human form, my work manifests these influences. In my artistic journey, I find profound attraction in simplicity, often employing minimalistic compositions that utilize lines and planes to evoke a sense of peace and contemplation. I am drawn to the interplay of light and the tactile experiences it evokes. Through the deliberate use of lines, planes, shapes, and forms, I strive to distill the purest expressions of aesthetic grace.
