My paintings are built through a sustained process of fine, repetitive mark-making -layering thousands of ultra-thin lines with a liner brush over extended periods, allowing depth and form to emerge gradually.

Rooted in abstraction and informed by nature, the work exists between stillness and motion. Color and line accumulate into expansive yet intimate spaces where density and openness coexist.

What began as a way of processing emotional weight transformed into a practice of appreciation, one where repetition and presence became central. The act of building each surface mirrors that progression.

In my current work, I am drawn to expressing a heightened awareness of being -a quiet awe that lives within our internal experience of the natural world. Subtle shifts in tone and line create moments where light seems to dissolve into color and space feels both infinite and contained.

At its core, this is a practice of presence. The paintings offer an invitation to slow down, perceive more fully, and encounter something expansive and still.
