“I always aim to convey movement and honesty in each piece, embracing imperfection and the unrefined as reflections of life, with all its complexity and constant change”
I hope to invite the viewer to reflection and personal interpretation – my artistic voice is playful, boundless, and deeply human. My process is free, experimental, and intuitive – each piece emerges without predetermined plans, as a direct extension of my inner world and an ongoing dialogue with the materials.
Surface plays a central role in my practice. Tactile, weathered textures give the paintings a sense of history, depth, and the passage of time. With strong feeling and forward momentum, I explore shifting perspectives, movement, and the architecture of inner landscapes – often represented through symbolic forms such as doors, ladders, leaning buildings, and windows that depict the endless possibilities found both in life and in creation.
My sculptural series “HER MESS Handbags” – made of acrylic/resin, placed on illuminated pedestals that highlight their contents and narratives. Each handbag is a unique original work that depicts reality and our dreams, combining humor, memory, and personal reflection. Inspired by the everyday life, I incorporate and arrange found and weathered objects to explore our “inner space” – where the familiar and the unexpected meet in a visual language that is recognizable yet surprising.
My art is held in private homes and corporate collections worldwide. Recently, I have also delivered several large-scale works to a privately owned institution abroad.
