Artist Statement My work doesn’t take place in the studio alone: I often draw right in the middle of the action – at raves, concerts, and in dancing crowds. This practice of “extreme sketching” allows me to capture energy and movement in real time. I work on canvas, paper, cardboard, fabric – or directly on skin. I’m interested in how individuality expresses itself in people, objects, cities, or fleeting moments. Improvisation is my way of being present. Each piece is an open gesture, where chance and knowledge are equal partners.
