My practice of art making is a delicate dance between life, material, and chance. I fully embrace the moment and flow of both materials and feelings when I create work.

Stillness is central to my practice, but it exists in tension with movement. I look for balance between opposing forces—control and chance, structure and looseness, rhythm and pause. I want the viewer to stop, take a breath, and settle into the space the painting holds. The work is not meant to answer questions or offer explanations. It aims instead to wake the senses and create a moment of awareness in a world that often feels numb.

My process is intuitive and materially driven. I do not begin with a plan. I layer thin color into raw canvas or absorbent ground so the paint is worked into the surface rather than applied on top of it. Imperfection and chance guide the work, allowing structure to emerge through repetition, contrast, and balance rather than composition tricks. White underlayers, shifts in value, and subtle color tension create depth and presence.

Line, shape, color, and texture are treated as physical experiences. Repetition creates rhythm. Warm and cool tones generate quiet tension. The surface remains active and imperfect, emphasizing the painting as an object that holds space, much like a sculpture.
