“Painting creates a space that goes beyond our imagination and can only be explored through emotions.
I am interested in the connection between poetry and the human being with his questions and feelings.

I try to get something like a universal feeling that embodies the inner reality of the individual and their authentic search for truth.

Poetry flows into my art and words remain as fragments. They form a connection between the past and the present moment.
I hope that by discovering facets of words in my work, the audience will be inspired to find new ways of reading art that go beyond the usual perspective. “
