I am an artist who works with a diverse range of materials and techniques. My passion lies in capturing vivid and graphic images, transforming the world around me into emotionally charged, two-dimensional representations. Whether through the lens of a camera, the texture of paper, or the canvas brought to life with paint, I employ various tools to give life to my artistic vision. In my craft, I place emphasis on the everyday scenes, revealing hidden patterns and relationships in the colors and shapes of the world that surrounds us, whether it be the human form, nature, or architectural marvels.
