I create — not to produce, but to give form to something felt, intuited, and imagined. My work challenges the idea of the artist as a producer, resisting the pressure to fit creative practice into systems of output or efficiency.

Inspired by light, movement, and photography, I explore the dual nature of human presence — where the visible self and its shadow coexist, blur, and transform. Even when a painting appears figurative, it’s never a reproduction of reality. It carries the emotional and cognitive layers that shape how I experience the world.

Many of my works are painted on recovered materials, which I try to use as much as possible — to value what’s been discarded and open it to new meaning. This is both a material and conceptual choice.

Influenced by Hermetic and alchemical ideas, I see creation as part of a larger continuum between the earthly and the cosmic. Each work is not just an image — it’s a small portal into another possible world.
