From a young age, I have been immersed in the world of art, drawn to the power of visual stimulation and self-expression. My father, a deeply creative individual, taught me the importance of making things my own—whether through displays, paintings, or jewelry. His influence instilled in me the confidence to experiment and find my unique signature in every piece I create.

I embrace the beauty of imperfection, allowing mistakes to guide my artistic journey rather than hinder it. Movement and color play a central role in my work, flowing instinctively from my emotions and experiences—whether born from joy, struggle, or reflection. I work with a variety of found materials, including paint, bones, wood, metal, and jewelry, each adding texture and depth to my creations.

For me, art is an organic process. I don’t plan; I feel. I select colors, lay them down, and let the movement dictate the outcome. Each piece becomes a raw and honest expression of life itself, capturing moments of chaos, beauty, and transformation.
