Welcome

What if reality isn’t fixed, but can be folded?
What if the familiar is merely a starting point—an invitation to look again?

That curiosity is what drives me to paint. My work stems from a hunger for image and a deep fascination with what lies beneath the surface. By unfolding dimensions, shifting viewpoints, and lifting forms from their context, space emerges. Space for ambiguity, wonder—and sometimes, a quiet sense of disorientation that clears the way for new clarity.

My paintings balance between abstract landscapes, architectural elements, and organic shapes. They often start from observation, but quickly let go of recognizability. In doing so, I invite you on an inner journey—through layers of colour, form, and feeling.

To me, reality is not a fixed stage but a field of possibilities. What we perceive can be reinterpreted again and again. With each brushstroke, I explore how shape, light, and space guide our gaze—and what happens when you stretch that logic just a bit further.

"I paint to sense and explore the complexity of the world. Spaces that seem familiar become disorienting; silence and movement meet the human desire for connection. Here, in the moment, a place arises to slow down, to look, and to feel."

Prefer small works?

“As the world grows faster and more artificial, value shifts toward what cannot be automated: the human presence in making. Art remains meaningful because it arises from consciousness — from the place where experience, inquiry and feeling converge. What is created there continues to hold its worth.”
