My practice exists between the existential, the dreamlike, and the absurd. I explore change as a natural constant, approaching life not through its objects, but through its processes. I am more interested in how something is painted than in what is painted: a single subject can offer entirely different readings depending on color, tone, or rhythm.

Through landscapes, elements of popular culture, and everyday objects, I explore perception and the relative nature of reality. These familiar references act as starting points rather than fixed meanings. Hyperbolic compositions and protagonist subjects give the image focus, while color—and at times its absence—reshapes emotional states and keeps our relationship with the work fluid.

Ultimately, my work is rooted in the understanding that no thought, emotion, or experience is ever final. Change is not something to resist, but a neutral force that quietly guides the way we perceive and inhabit the world.
