Artis Statement
A dedicated visual artist with over two decades of a prolific career, my work explores the themes of spirituality, inner peace, and the human psyche. My artistic practice is deeply intertwined with a strong social commitment, utilizing art as a powerful medium for therapy, rehabilitation, and social inclusion. Through both solo and collective exhibitions, I strive to create a dialogue between aesthetic expression and profound human experience, making art accessible and transformative for diverse audiences.
