About

My artistic statement is still in the making, but I'd like to highlight a concept that deeply resonates with my work:

“My” artistic practice is a continuous exploration of diverse mediums and narratives, each serving as a conduit for personal and communal storytelling. By engaging with various materials and techniques, I navigate through the intricate “realnesses” of the world around me and the people o collaborate with, seeking to uncover new realities that resonate with both my own experiences and those of the communities I engage with.

 

At the heart of my work is a reparative motive—a persuit to find pleasure in the creative process while confronting and assimilating the aftermath of destruction and violence the certain topics or experiences may carry with them. This journey is not about avoiding shame but about embracing the full spectrum of human experience, transforming pain or life experiences into a source of healing and connection.

 

I am deeply invested in the relational aspect of art, understanding that life is lived through our interactions with others. My work reflects this belief, portraying the self as fluid and interconnected, dissolving into an "endless relativity" that is the essence of life. 

Through my art, I strive to bridge the gap between the personal and the collective, the intimate and the universal. Each piece is an invitation to engage with the delicate balance between creation and destruction, connection and isolation, life and death.
