Hide and seek Painting

Artist Statement My work explores abstraction as a way of reconnecting with the simple act of seeing. I remove storytelling, depth, and clear references so that color and form can stand on their own, without directing the viewer toward a specific meaning. I am inspired by the way a child first experiences the world, before everything has a name. At that stage, color and shape are felt freely and openly. In my painting practice, I try to return to that space of direct and intuitive perception. In the studio, I intentionally leave out recognizable figures and narrative elements. This allows me to focus more closely on how colors and forms relate to one another. Through this process, the painting becomes a living interaction of shapes, tones, and energy. My paintings are not meant to represent something specific. Instead, they offer space. They invite the viewer to slow down, to look without expectation, and to connect with their own sensations, emotions, and memories. For me, painting is a place where seeing becomes immediate, personal, and alive.
