My work is built around the push and pull between structure and spontaneity. I’m interested in what happens when a painting feels immediately recognizable, but the longer you stay with it, the more it opens up.

I don’t aim for a single fixed message. I want the canvas to hold atmosphere, memory, and narrative, so each viewer can find their own entry point.
