"Impermanent State" Painting

My paintings explore the fragile boundary between the visible and the invisible, where dreams, memory, instinct, and emotion merge into symbolic landscapes. Rather than depicting the external world, I create spaces where psychological states take physical form through spectral figures, animals, shifting bodies, and fluid, oneiric shapes.

I am drawn to the parts of ourselves that are often hidden: fear, tenderness, desire, anxiety, longing, and the quiet forces that shape us beneath conscious thought. Water, hybrid creatures, and ghostlike presences recur throughout my work, not as fantasy, but as metaphors for the subconscious and the complexity of being human.

For a long time, I tried to fit the expectation of being gentle, agreeable, and emotionally restrained. Painting became the place where I could abandon that role and embrace contradiction instead. My work is rooted in the belief that light and darkness are not opposites, but inseparable aspects of the same inner landscape.

Working primarily in oil, I build atmospheric surfaces through layered, muted color, allowing forms to emerge gradually, as if remembered rather than invented. I am less interested in giving definitive answers than in creating images that invite contemplation and emotional recognition.

My paintings do not seek to illustrate emotions; they seek to embody them. Each work is an invitation to enter a space where vulnerability, instinct, memory, and imagination coexist without judgment.
