My work is a dialogue between the natural world and my personal experiences. Each piece is a homage to the intricate complexity found in nature, the world, and the emotional landscapes that shape my life. The Wild has always been my greatest muse. Through my art, I aim to capture the hidden moments and rhythms of nature, echoing them into forms and colours that evoke a sense of wonder and introspection. My experiences, both major and subtle, weave through my work like an undercurrent. Each stroke, pop of colour, and texture is a footstep of my personal journey—moments of introspection, joy, sorrow, and growth. This interplay between the external world and my internal landscape creates a rich tapestry that reflects the interconnectedness of all things. In my studio, I strive to bridge the gap between these two realms—nature and experience—by embracing spontaneity and intuition. The process of creating becomes a meditative exploration where I allow my instincts to guide me, resulting in pieces that are as much about the act of creation as they are about the final outcome. Ultimately, my art is an invitation to pause and reflect, to find a meaningful connection with the natural world and with oneself.
