"Next Lifetime" is an evocative mixed media abstract expressionist artwork on black paper about metamodernity, oscillating between hope and melancholy. Vibrant multicolored light washes emerge across a dark paper, intertwining with circular brushstrokes in shades of pink, green, white, blue, yellow, and purple, as if exerting their ironic and playful nature from a serious background. Soft and oil pastels marks add depth and complexity, symbolizing the longing and difficulty of finding a new order, through connection, empathy and community.

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.
