"Let It Grow" Collage

My work draws inspiration from the natural and visual rhythms of everyday life. Whether creating impressionistic landscapes or abstract compositions, the vibrant colors I encounter — in sunsets, autumn leaves, golden hills, alpine lakes or even the pulsating lights of a concert — serve as a catalyst for my imagination. I use a wide variety of handmade, iridescent, and translucent papers, layering them to create textures and color interactions that are often unexpected. My process is a balance between meticulous intent and spontaneous gesture; each piece evolves over multiple sessions as layers of fiber and glue transform the canvas. Because of the way these materials bleed and blend, the final result is is often surprising, shaped by the interplay of color, texture, and chance. Ultimately, I strive to create collages that evoke emotion and reward sustained viewing, revealing new details over time.
