My Journey…
My art is an ever changing reflection of my life experiences. For far too long, my voice has been silenced. Now I embrace my creativity to express what I have held back. Each painting begins with a situation, idea, or experience, acting as a unique puzzle that I seek to solve. Inspiration often arises from visions, fragments of dreams, or moments of deep meditation.
I explore the interplay between light and shadow. Once an idea takes shape, I dive into research, exploring the meanings and symbols associated with it. Personal experiences are integral, as I reflect on how my life intersects with the subject matter.
I combine aspects of my subject in unexpected ways, exaggerating or omitting certain features to create intrigue and depth. Intuition plays a crucial role in this research process, guiding me in selecting which aspects to focus on and helping me discern the significance of various symbols. Often, my instinct leads me to unexpected connections, allowing me to explore themes that resonate deeply on a personal level.
