My work explores the interplay between detailed natural imagery and bold, reductive forms. By bringing representation and abstraction into dialogue, I investigate the tension between simplicity and complexity, and how visual languages from different traditions can coexist within a single pictorial space.
My process is intuitive and discovery-driven, often beginning with analog and digital collage as a generative foundation for image-making. Drawing from art history, graphic design, and my own documentation of natural environments, I build compositions through accumulation, fragmentation, and reconfiguration. These evolving forms guide subsequent stages of painting and assembly.
Recent work centers on personal memory, particularly the distinction between psychological and physical time. I am interested in how memories—submerged, fragmented, or nonlinear—can re-emerge in the present. Recurring motifs such as flowers, trees, fruit, and animals, drawn from both observation and recollection, act as carriers of personal and symbolic meaning.
The pictorial surface functions simultaneously as image and object. Abstract contours interrupt illusionistic depth, exposing underlying geometric structures and emphasizing the work’s layered construction.
Across my practice, themes of impermanence, memory, and the fragility of the natural world persist. Ultimately, my work seeks to create spaces where visual beauty and formal tension invite sustained reflection on the relationship between humans, memory, and the natural world.
