Artist Statement:
My true artistic expression begins when I step away from external noise and look inward. That's exactly where my abstract artworks find their power.
For me, art is a deeply personal journey – driven by intuition, emotion and raw presence. They are spontaneous expressions born from pure feeling and exploration.
Each brushstroke is a statement, each colour an emotion, and each composition a story told without words. The canvas becomes a mirror of the unseen – a place where imagination is free to roam without boundaries.
