artist statement
From a young age, I found myself needing to sustain my own livelihood. This led to carving out a practice that would allow artistic expression to coexist harmoniously with life’s demands. This necessity evolved into a fundamental principle, shaping both the content and materials of my artworks.
The process of transmuting my daily experiences into artistic depictions, coupled with deliberate choices regarding materials and dimensions, finds its roots in this guiding philosophy. It grants me the flexibility to adapt my artistic process to various temporal and spatial demands.
In a world often entangled in complexity, solace and significance are discovered in the pure elegance of lines and shapes. Each small drawing is an intimate conversation that expresses contemplation, idea, rumination, or commentary on our environment—where the ostensibly takes a comical twist, inviting laughter and a profound sense of reflection.
In my artistic journey, crafting these drawings isn’t merely a creative endeavor—it’s an embodiment of a profound belief in the meaning of making art. To me, art is a conduit through which the intangible finds a tangible form. Through art, I endeavor to share this truth and, in doing so, create connections, provoke contemplation, and illuminate the beauty that resides in life’s simplicity.
