"A Purpose" is a warm mixed media painting on grey satin fabric that delves into the human pursuit of living a meaningful life and discovering purpose. The artwork tries to capture the nuances of a sunrise’s journey through a composition of abstract forms, in orange, yellow and pink acrylics, oil pastels, and spontaneous pencils’ marks. If having a purpose means having a sense of direction, fulfillment, and significance in life, the Sun acts like a universal symbol of a clear sense of direction. No matter what, it rises and sets every single day, accomplishing its mission. To our human experience, a purpose involves understanding one's unique role or contribution to the world, and feeling a deep connection to something greater than oneself.

As a multidisciplinary artist and documentary filmmaker, I’ve always been attracted to the inner landscapes of human beings, exploring themes of cultural hybridity, psychology, and spirituality. Having lived among complex and conflictual worlds, my work reflects diverse cultural influences and a personal exploration of identity, belonging and freedom. My paintings are characterised by bold and vibrant colour choices, employing multiple media and materials, like the diverse fabrics of societies I inhabit. As a result of this identity tapestry, I became interested in the transcendental, and how we can arrive from the material to the immaterial, where perhaps we can find more things in common than the conflictual realities we live in.
