I believe that Art should not merely serve as decoration but act as a gateway for the complex and often paradoxical truths of existence. Art should resonate on a profound level, transcending the superficial response of "that’s a pretty picture." It should evoke emotions, provide solace, provoke thought, and at times, even unsettle the viewer. ​ My work is shaped by an unending search for meaning and connection. I am driven by a sense of restlessness, and the persistent feeling of being a stranger, and my journey has been one of looking inward to memories and outward to the elusive nature of human connection and the inexorable beauty of the world. My pieces often emerge from moments of intense recall—fragments of memories or dreams, experiences felt rather than fully understood. This inner landscape, shaped by the emotional echoes of past moments, forms the heart of my artistic exploration. ​ Influenced by the philosophical insights of Albert Camus, Viktor Frankl, and Carl Jung, my work delves into the complex layers of human experience. Camus’ exploration of the absurd, Frankl’s quest for meaning in adversity, and Jung’s ideas of the unconscious provide a philosophical framework that guides me as I translate my inner experiences into form and colour. I draw from these thinkers to explore our shared vulnerabilities and the often-invisible threads that connect us to each other and to our environment. ​ Artistically, I am inspired by Cubism’s deconstruction, Expressionism’s emotional rawness, and Fauvism’s striking colour. My compositions are fragmented yet cohesive, each piece a study in emotional resonance. Through layers of abstraction, I aim to capture the nuances of human experience—the joy, the melancholy, the in-betweens. My art is not simply a reflection of the world but a meditation on the deeper, often overlooked, forces that shape us. IG: TT:
