My work invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and discover a personal connection within each painting.

My art is not aimed at aesthetic satisfaction, but at the desire to make the invisible visible.
By transferring planes and forms in my paintings, I have moved on to the desire to convey personal emotions from what I have lived. I am surprised every time I observe inside unexpected reactions to the ou...
