I paint as an act of listening.
My work emerges from stillness and inner movement rather than intention. I allow the painting to unfold through layers, erasure, and return, trusting the process the way one trusts a spiritual path. What appears on the surface is guided not by control, but by attention.
Forms resembling faces or figures rise and dissolve, echoing the unseen aspects of the self. They are not portraits, but traces—reminders that identity is layered, impermanent, and shaped by experience. I leave marks, drips, and scars visible as a form of truth, honoring what has passed through the surface rather than hiding it.
Color functions as a spiritual language. Flesh tones, earth, and muted hues reflect the tension between fragility and endurance, surrender and strength. The surface becomes a place of witnessing, where memory, emotion, and spirit intersect.
Painting, for me, is a form of prayer without words. It is a way of staying present with what cannot be explained, only received. Each work is a quiet offering—an acknowledgment of what remains when the noise falls away.
About the Work
This body of work explores identity as something shaped over time through experience, culture, and survival. Each painting represents an individual presence—layered, fragmented, and resilient. Through paint, fabric, and texture, the figures reflect the quiet strength of what is carried daily and the humanity that remains beneath what is shown to the world.
