I am a visual artist working with drawing, painting, collage, jewelry, and sculpture — not as separate disciplines, but as different ways of entering the same inner space. My practice is intuitive and fluid, unfolding rather than planned, guided by an ongoing dialogue between sensation, memory, and form.

My work grows from that subtle place where the visible and the invisible meet.

I am interested in what cannot be fully explained, but can be felt — the shifting states of emotion, the traces of experience,

the quiet layers beneath perception.

Images emerge as fragments of inner landscapes, where line, color, and gesture become a language that precedes words.

Movement, travel, and encounters with different cultures have shaped my way of seeing. Whether through long journeys or quiet moments of observation, I gather impressions from nature, ancient spaces, and human presence. These experiences do not appear

in the work directly, but rather as echoes — transformed through time, intuition, and imagination.

 

Alongside my artistic practice, I lead workshops where creativity becomes a space of exploration and reconnection. There, the process is more important than the result — allowing something authentic, often unexpected, to surface through making. My work continues to live in this in-between state — not as a choice between worlds, but as a continuous

flow between them.
