In my work, I explore themes of imperfection, existential anxieties, inner conflicts, and confrontation in a grotesque style.

Through painting, drawing, and printmaking, I create hybrid moods that reflect both fragility and defiance.

The process itself is very important to me: When creating my work, I draw from my emotions as much as possible and try to use my hands, not my mind.

Sometimes I attack the canvas with anger, other times I touch it with compassion. When painting, I can be very gentle, very rough, fearful, or courageous.

My visual language draws from expressionism, comics, cartoons, and elements of graphic design.
