Artist statment

My artistic practice centers around large-scale oil paintings that blend traditional technique with contemporary visual language. Using thin layers of oil paint, I prioritize color and depth, softening the trace of my hand in favor of immersive, emotionally charged imagery.

Rooted in realism, my work explores the female-presenting body and psychological interior, often through self-portraiture or portrayals of others. These figures serve as real emotional anchors within surreal or digitally distorted environments—spaces that echo the tension between physical presence and virtual identity.

Lately, I’ve become more interested in color as a psychological tool, experimenting with refracted light, glitch aesthetics, and layered perception. My figures are no longer just portrayed—they are fractured, multiplied, or submerged. In these new works, I reference digital filters, reflections, and altered states of consciousness, exploring how technology and our own subconsciousness influence the way we see ourselves and experience life.

I aim to create a visual language that bridges classical beauty and contemporary fragmentation—using portraiture, once a symbol of power and permanence, to capture moments of vulnerability, distortion, and transformation.
