These five works represent an ongoing exploration to establish, refine, and sustain a personal visual language.
The paintings function as spaces for contemplation, reflecting on the human experience, what it means to inhabit a body while existing within a layered and often complex reality.
Each work begins through spontaneous drawing, without a predetermined narrative or fixed composition. The image emerges through intuition, allowing form, gesture, and structure to develop organically over time.
My current practice investigates the relationships between shape formation, color value, gesture, material, and the physical dialogue between my body and the painting's surface. Through this process, the work becomes both an act of discovery and a record of perception.
The paintings belong to two interconnected bodies of work: “Coming of Age” and “ In Bloom.”
