Artist Statement
As an artist, I work in a contemporary style of abstract art, using colors, shapes, texture, form, to express the emotions that connect us all. The background color and each piece are shaped by personal experiences, the energy of the universe, cosmic influences, and the emotions I feel in the moment of creation, reflecting the world around me, this dynamic, emotional approach allows each painting to tell its own story, shifting with the energy of the moment.
Inspired from the beauty of nature, the universe, landscapes, seascapes and natural surface around us, my abstract forms and geometric symbols serve as a way to visualize these elements, inviting others to connect and feel their presence.
I explore not only the physical beauty of nature but also the unseen forces that flow through everything, the cosmic force that bind us all together. Through abstraction, I seek to represent these invisible forces to experience the power of energy, frequency, vibration and emotion as they intersect in the world around us.
I believe that art has the power to bridge gaps between people and that art is not just a reflection of the self, but a shared space where the viewer canengage with their own feelings and experiences. Every painting is a moment captured in time and through my paintings, I aim to create a resonance where the viewer can connect not just with the work, but with the universal forces that we all share, my paintings are more than just visual, they are invitations to explore and experience a sense of unity that we all share.
