Artist Statement
My art delves into the intricate web of identity and memory, exploring both personal and collective experiences. Beginning with primary research, I conduct interviews and observe attentively to gain deep insights and varied perspectives. Photographs and other secondary sources further guide my analysis and interpretation.
Each piece starts with an introspective letter, distilling the essence of a moment into emotive keywords. These words form the foundation of my work, bringing life to the canvas. My paintings evolve from personal memories into expressive abstractions, aiming to convey the authenticity of both individual and collective experiences.
My canvases serve as platforms for unveiling memories, echoing history, and creating new narratives. This creative process invites both artist and viewer to co-create stories, leading to contemporary folklore and collective memory. It encourages personal interpretation, free from absolute truths.
Through my art, I explore the relationship between presented and perceived narratives. I aim to bridge the gap between what is shown and what is experienced by each viewer. My work regenerates and rejuvenates memories, transforming them while maintaining their original essence. The resulting paintings tell stories through colours, marks, and gestures, embodying the duality of abstraction and representation.
My unique value lies in my ability to transform intricate memories into universal visual languages that resonate deeply with diverse audiences. By merging personal introspection with collective memory, I create pieces that not only reflect individual stories but also invite viewers to see their own experiences within the abstract forms. This approach fosters a shared space for reflection and connection, making each artwork a collaborative journey of discovery and meaning.
