Artist Statement

Through meticulous research and observation, I have come to realize the omnipresence of patterns within the very weft of matter. Each element possesses its own inner structure, a mesmerizing world comprised of repetitive forms. In this intricate dance of forms, I project myself into a fractal realm, drawing inspiration from nature's boundless repertoire of structures and textures. The process of translating these intricate forms and the illusion of movement they evoke, becomes a laborious yet deeply rewarding task. While my creations spring from the realms of imagination, they remain firmly grounded in our tangible world and the fundamental atoms of which it’s composed. Whether exploring the vast expanse of the macro or delving into the intricacies of the micro, I am captivated by the universal language that nature employs. Within this shared vocabulary of forms, I play with the duality of familiarity and the uncanny, seeking to create a unique visual language. My work acts as a bridge between the recognizable patterns found in the natural world and the surreal, stirring sensations they can evoke. It is through this synthesis of the familiar and the extraordinary that I embark on a quest to articulate my own language—one that resonates with emotions, speaks to the essence of humanity, and pays homage to the intricate structure of nature. Each piece becomes a vessel for storytelling, inviting viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of our emotions, the human experience, and the inspiring patterns that permeate the fabric of our existence.
