Artist Statement​

​

My paintings start as a personal exploration and combine my experiences in nature. For me, painting is a way to face myself honestly. I draw out my inner thoughts and emotions, and in that process, I feel both fear and happiness. 

Nature always comes to mind as a source of comfort. My experiences in nature blend with my imagination to fill the canvas. The way colors interact and the spontaneous strokes become an expression of the self, a layering of experience, and a quiet reflection of positive desire. Creating art is something I do for myself. But I also believe that someone who connects with my work may find inspiration in it and create something meaningful of their own.
