"Happy Landscape" Painting

I’m a visual artist creating hand embroidered pieces of abstract and geometric designs, with some organic elements mixed in, as well. My works are intuitive creations meant to invoke feelings rather than conveying concepts.

Although I began my professional career in architecture, I realized that its technical aspects were limiting my creative freedom, so instead, I began to focus on rendering structures that had more visual appeal than practicality. Still, the abstract feel of architectural compositions stayed with me.

Designing “wearable art” collections bearing geometric patterns were the first step in my artistic career. Hand dyed and painted silk was a way to create my own, unique fabrics. Sketching for my collections and pencil-drawing went hand in hand.

While textiles and fashion-design were important to me, I felt that doing something on my own, free of trends and deadlines, will better serve my creativity. However, I could not give up my fabrics and threads. Hand-embroidered silk and canvas resemble pencil strokes on paper, and this became an essential element of my artistic expression. As I continue to develop creative ideas, I search for new media and techniques to combine in innovative ways, in my future works. This is a never-ending path of exploration and self-discovery to enrich and advance my art.

My works have no hidden messages, just the hope that playful compositions and vivid colors will pleasantly surprise and brighten your mood and surroundings.

I live and work in California.
