Current Work
I use art as as a way to create images that did not exist before. Sometimes, my work reflects the world around me; other times, it emerges from imagination- filling in what cannot be seen but can be felt.
My current focus is on color, contrast, and composition. I am exploring how these elements interact to create movement, tension, and balance within each piece. Influenced by my surroundings, I translate both observed and internal experiences into visual form.
The Weight of Petals
There is a compelling tension in this piece.At the center stands a solitary figure. Her expression suggests reflection, contemplation or perhaps, surrender. The black dress creates a strong vertical presence contrasting the layered blocks of color in the background; fragments of emotional landscapes behind her.
The bouquet of deep magenta roses becomes a focal point representing something she carries, held gently but deliberately at her side.

The Color She Carries
This piece is both timeless and classical. At the center, stands a
young woman, her posture suggesting: introspection, dignity, and
inward strength. The surface feels weathered like fragments of
history layered over time. There is a subtle halo
effect making her feel both elevated and grounded.
The figure stands quietly in a field of movement and history,
composed and self contained. The unfinished parts of the dress
suggests growth, evolution or becoming part of a narrative still unfolding. The title is reflective of the complex challenges of
equality in a world that celebrates diversity and still struggles with categorization.
