From a young age, I was drawn to the world of art, beginning my journey with painting lessons that accompanied me through every stage of childhood and into university. Growing up in a country where creativity flourished in every corner, I found early inspiration in its colors, contrasts, and cultural vibrance. Life in such a setting shaped not only my aesthetic sensibilities but also my understanding of truth, justice, and the power of expression. Yet, expressing a clear and honest message wasn’t always simple in a place where freedom of speech was not a given. This challenge led me to develop a language of metaphor and symbolism—tools that helped me translate my deepest concerns and visions into compelling visual narratives. My art became a vehicle for strength and subtlety, truth and transformation.

Since the late 1980s, my artistic journey has been marked by an ongoing exploration of diverse techniques and mediums. I’ve worked through multiple series across the years, often pausing one to later return with renewed perspective. For me, art is not a static expression—it is a reflection of the emotional and psychological tides within. I believe it is impossible for an artist to engage with their work in the exact same emotional tone every day, especially when tethered to a single technique or color palette. Each piece I create is a mirror of a specific moment, a distinct state of being. Sometimes art is sweetness, other times it speaks of fury, introspection, sorrow, or awakening. This emotional range demands flexibility in form—so when you explore my works, you’ll find a broad spectrum of styles and methods, each one echoing the feeling that shaped it. I find that shifting between series or experimenting with different media allows me to return to earlier works with a deeper enthusiasm and clarity. For me, art is not repetition. It is a living, breathing language.
