Conceptual drawing / Large-scale works on paper / Text Research / Art classes


I work with large-scale drawings on paper using traditional graphic materials - ink, watercolors, pencils, acrilic.

My practice draws on diverse forms of written expression - prayer, law, scientific research, philosophical treatises, novels, testaments, and other textual structures.
With a background in journalism, narrative and meaning remain central to my approach; I begin with content, while form becomes a means of articulation. Through systems of allusion and association, I translate verbal structures into visual ones.

Each work functions as a form of personal diary, tracing a process of reflection on phenomena, ideas, and systems of thought, while opening a space for dialogue with the viewer.
I use the graphic sheet as my primary medium, as this format recalls Victorian botanical plates - a period when scientific knowledge occupied a one of the central cultural positions. These images historically inhabited libraries, studies, and offices; this is where I feel my work truly fits.
