"Bali Market" Painting

I am deeply interested in the condition of modern existence within a purely materialistic world — a world in which our emotions and multidimensional selves continuously struggle to find recognition and legitimacy.
Through my work, I seek to unfold what lies beyond the visible: the layers of perception that can only be seen with the heart rather than the eyes.

Satire and surrealism are central to my artistic language. They allow me to shift the dimensions of reality — to question what is considered normal, and to reveal the poetic absurdity that often hides beneath everyday life.

My art is an invitation to look deeper, to find meaning in contradiction, and to rediscover the human essence that persists even in a world driven by logic and matter. In my early years, I explored abstraction — vast fields of water-based colors flowing across paper, where gesture and emotion shaped the surface. Later, through studies in photorealism, I discovered the beauty in tension: between precision and intuition, between what is seen and what is felt.

I often bend and distort reality, letting form and color echo inner states, much like in expressionism — though I move closer to its figurative edge. My work shifts in style and vocabulary, driven by curiosity and a refusal to settle. I easily lose patience with polished perfection; I prefer when an image reveals insight rather than imitation.
