Artist Statement
As an artist, my work reflects my classical training and my love for modern, impressionistic expression. I am deeply fascinated by color and its ability to evoke emotion. My paintings, created primarily in oils, explore the relationship between light, mood, and atmosphere. I intentionally leave space in my compositions to invite the viewer’s imagination, allowing them to complete the narrative in their own way. The act of creation is as meaningful to me as the finished work, and my goal is to create paintings that offer peace and intrigue, balancing open space with vibrant color and form.
