“What I do in the studio primarily revolves around the act of painting itself: the movements, the brush strokes, the search for a composition, and the experimentation with materials. The painting gestures I create are often large and wild; the paint is applied with impasto, and energetic scratches make the canvas vibrate. The works emerge intuitively and spontaneously through the physical process. This bodily approach forms the heart of my practice.

Essentially, I create paintings that peel away the everyday to reveal a kind of energetic core; that which resonates within you in response to the outside world. The deep red works, for example, often evoke feelings of discomfort. They carry a certain brutality and fury within them. At the same time, they evoke thoughts of a womb, with its warm, fleshy, bloody, and feminine tactility. Within these paradoxical, visceral works, the theme of violence emerges alongside the beauty of nature and the feminine, exploring the relationships between people as well as their connection to the natural world.

My aim is for my paintings to touch you, for you to feel them in your belly, in your body. I believe in a brighter tomorrow, and this is reflected in the work. For it is not just red; it is also pink, blue, yellow, green. Full of urgency, but also full of hope.”
