WHEN I AM PAINTING, MY SOUL, MY MIND, AND MY BODY ARE ONE,
AND THE ONLY EXISTING MOMENT IS THE PRESENT.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Over the years, I have developed my own painting technique that goes hand-in-hand with the way I see life. Creating layers and scraping them allows one to see what is under the surface. Gradually, all colors emerge and become a part of the composition. Some of them might be brighter, others darker, some even dull, but within the whole picture they complement and highlight each other.

This is how I see life from an individual and a collective perspective. The layers in my work represent my experiences, memories, pain and healing, and the years lived. Even if everything is behind a thick coat, once I start scraping and searching, what is underneath begins to reveal itself. Acknowledging each one of these layers makes me who I am. From the collective perspective, regardless of our differences, we are all part of the same painting and only by embracing and respecting each other can we create a beautiful and powerful piece in which we are all equally important.
