Since I can remember, I have experienced everything through synesthesia; sounds, numbers, letters, memories, and emotions I see in color. For me, colors speak louder than words; they carry truths where language falls short. In the studio, this inner perception and merging of all that is interconnected becomes visible.
My paintings emerge from a shift between reality and illusion, where what is solid begins to shimmer like a mirage. Working with raw pigments, spray paint, oil, ink, and acrylic, I build layered surfaces that are translucent and opaque, fluid and fractured. Each gesture is both instinct and control, echoing the rhythm of water and the unpredictable energy of nature, its flow, its turbulence, its endless capacity to transform. Water is my recurring metaphor, a symbol of memory, longing, and renewal. Like water, my work holds the tension of opposites: fragility and force, clarity and distortion, surface and depth. In the marks and layers, there is both rupture and magic, a reminder that what dissolves can also reveal, that behind every appearance there may be another truth, where personal history and collective memory merge, and where illusion itself carries meaning. They invite the viewer into a space of wonder and to question what is seen, to feel what is hidden, to sense something just beyond reach.
