“As an artist, I am deeply fascinated by the delicate balance of existence and non-existence. The very fact that we exist at all is a probabilistic phenomenon, shaped by countless factors and variables beyond our control. For me, painting is a celebration of the beautiful and fragile nature of being, and a reminder that each and every one of us is a miraculous manifestation of probability and chance.
I explore the interplay between abstraction and figurative art. The abstract backgrounds in these artworks serve as visual representations of the chaos, confusion, and disorientation that often accompany significant life changes. Embedded within these chaotic backgrounds, the figures emerge as the central focal points of each composition. The combination of abstraction and figurative elements highlights the dichotomy between the internal and external realms. By juxtaposing the chaotic backgrounds with the more defined figures, I seek to convey the blurred boundaries between the past and the present, and the existence and non-existence.
My new body of work takes this exploration to new depths, incorporating heightened levels of abstraction and chaotic backgrounds that envelop the figures portrayed. These elements serve as visual representations of the emotional turmoil and inner chaos that accompanied my journey of disentanglement.”
