In my art, I weave monochrome worlds, a fusion of scenery and memories.
My creative process is marked by a meticulous, almost compulsive repetition, a ritual of craftsmanship and dedication. It is grounded in intuition, with the precision of a printer's hand. Moreover, I blend materials' innate qualities with skill to create a harmonious visual language. It is a continuous exploration of self, fusing abstraction with memories.
My journey is one of constant self-reflection, an ongoing exploration of the Textiles, patterns, and landscapes, and an expend to unite the abstract and the nostalgic in a unique, compelling synthesis of memory and artistry.

Ways of seeing, a lot of my work explores this notion of What we consider truth depends on how you look at it, for me, becomes an act of preservation, recording the intricate intricacies of perspective by surroundings.
I seek to immortalize these fleeting moments, urging viewers to recognize the beauty and fragility of ways of seeing and, in turn, ignite a collective sense of responsibility.
