I create visual narratives with the intention of effective communication. Currently, my preferred medium is mixed- media collage. Through my work, I aim to document perceptions of both the external and internal world, offering glimpses into my personal growth as a human being and, humbly speaking, as an artist.
Exploring the unpredictable nature of assembling preexisting imagery fascinates me. It goes beyond the relationships between subjects within the piece; it becomes a metaphorical vehicle for storytelling. I find immense satisfaction in transforming something disposable into something permanent. By breaking images from their original context, they are liberated to convey new messages.
Creation serves as my pressure release mechanism, grounding me in the process. Rather than burdening my thoughts, I provide them with a physical space. This approach also nurtures my appreciation for the creative journey, valuing the process as much as the final outcome. The meticulous slicing of pieces often reflects the tension between the beauty and struggle of life.
My artistic process thrives in chaos, typically with multiple pieces in progress simultaneously. Consequently, my work tends to exhibit contrasting directions, clean forms, shapes, and compositions, directing attention toward symbolism and clarity in relation to the chosen objects. This inclination may also be influenced by my training as an architect, where precision and attention to detail were ingrained. Whenever possible, I prefer to maintain a monochromatic color palette, ensuring that the subject takes precedence and allowing colors to harmonize without overpowering. However, in certain instances, I may embrace vivid hues to express joyous emotions. My senses remain ever attuned to my surroundings, continuously informing my artistic practice.
Above all, my intention is to inspire viewers, ignite discussion, and encourage them to observe the world more attentively, thereby rediscovering themselves and delving deeper into their emotions. Through this process, I hope to contribute to their growth as compassionate individuals.
