Statement

My artwork is rooted in memories—both good and bad—deeply connected to emotions. I draw inspiration from life experiences, including childhood, family, music, and the contrasting elements of war: horror and comradeship.

Unlocking these memories can be challenging and often stirs strong feelings, but it’s essential to honestly explore what they mean. This reflection allows me to create a vision that authentically represents my emotions through art.

Once I have a clear image and an understanding of its emotional depth, I choose the best way to bring it to life, considering style, color, texture, and medium. This process can be quick or take time, but I always strive to find the most fitting approach.

I primarily work with acrylics, water-mixable oils, and watercolors, but I am always open to experimenting with new techniques as I continue my artistic journey.
