My work explores the human condition through expressive portraits and abstract forms. Blending realism with abstraction, I capture fleeting emotions, inner struggles, and moments of quiet strength. Each brushstroke, collage element, and layer of texture tells a story of identity, fragility, and resilience. Faces often emerge from washes of paint and fragmented text, inviting viewers to look beyond the surface and reflect on the complexity of being human. My palette moves from muted monochromes to vibrant bursts of color, echoing the dualities of life, chaos and calm, vulnerability and power, destruction and creation.
