Artist Statement
My work is rooted in narrative. I approach each painting as a fragment of a larger story, one that unfolds through the quiet tension of a moment frozen in time. This leaves an impression that something has just happened or is about to unfold. Drawing from the visual language of cinematography. Themes of memory, presence, and the unspoken guide my work.
Oil painting is my chosen medium for translating these fleeting instants onto canvas. I am drawn to the mysteries of everyday life. Those unanswered questions that linger. Rather than offering conclusions, I create openings. Each painting becomes a contemplative encounter, a place where the audience can project their own narratives and find themselves within the story.
Ultimately, my work is an exploration of how we see and how we remember. A moment that continues to unfold in the viewer’s imagination.
