Inspiration
“ I use painting to explore everyday life and the fast-changing world around us. My work blends abstract and recognizable elements, often reimagining discarded objects and scenes into something new. I’m interested in how art can shift perspectives, spark reflection, and bring hidden stories or emotions to the surface. Each piece is part of an ongoing process — nothing is ever fixed, and I treat painting as a way to think, question, and connect with others. ”
