about
Each moment ends as soon as it starts. This fleeting passage is the path my work follows. Moving between sculptural painting and poetry, I translate the moment’s transience—its intrigue, its weight, and its insignificance—into a language of abstract and organic shapes, often shifting into free-form verse and back. Regardless of medium, I remain guided by the intention to give the invisible a color, a shape, or a name—bringing the unseen into the realm of perception and feeling. My textured, tactile paintings are conceived to engage the senses, inviting the viewer into a reflective space. In the process, wild clays, sand, and pigments are blended into a soil-based paint medium, applied to sculpted textiles. This method, in close dialogue with the materiality of the earth, opens a pathway to spiritual and metaphysical reflection, which is further explored through the written word. And when thought escapes language, it is through the physical act of painting that it continues its course.
This never-ending movement places word and object at the core of my practice, each beginning where the other ends.
