Drawing inspiration from the delicate balance between humanity and nature, my artwork offers a metaphorical reflection of this relationship. My broad range of creative expression encompasses various forms, including still life, nature, landscape, and plein air paintings, along with sketches and drawings. While sketching or painting outdoors, I embrace the power of nature and allow it to guide my creative process. Conversely, in my studio, I can create a universe of my own, free from the outside world's constraints. The effects of color, light, and atmosphere are central to my creative expression, and I use them to enhance the emotional impact of my art. For me, paintings are a gateway to imagination, offering solace amidst the chaos of everyday life. Although I work with various mediums, my passion for painting and drawing drives me to create new artwork constantly.
