My imagery functions as a space for investigation, where formal exploration helps uncover, challenge, and redefine meaning. Layers of paint—built through overlaps, crossings, and constant revisions—form a visual structure that avoids easy conclusions. Gesture and intuition remain essential, yet they are guided by careful observation and ongoing reflection. Color becomes both a language and a material, creating a dialogue between intuition and analysis. Each painting develops through a process that is both impulsive and deliberate, shaped by emotional sensitivity as well as thoughtful control. The resulting works operate on several levels at once: poetic, structured, and deeply personal. They invite viewers into a space where complexity is not resolved but actively sustained.
