STATEMENT

My painting develops as a personal topography, a process in which intuition, structure, and materials encounter one another to generate tension and discovery. I approach painting as a visceral and reflective rather than representational act, in which each gesture becomes both inquiry and resolution.

The canvas functions as a site of experimentation, where layers of color, line, and texture construct abstract, shifting landscapes. I seek to provoke visual friction, dissonance, and rupture that challenge balance and expectations, transforming perception into experience.

Materiality is central to my process. Working across solid, liquid, and aerosol states, I embrace accident and resistance as part of the work’s evolution. These interactions produce dense surfaces and micro-conflicts that deepen the pictorial field.

In this dialogue between gesture, matter, and chance, painting becomes an open territory of exploration, an active, ever-transforming space of sensory and conceptual engagement.
