“It starts from a place that has been quiet for a long time.”
This is where my work is moving now — towards abstraction.
Not as a concept, but as a necessity.
A space where things don’t need to be explained to be felt.
It starts from a place that has been quiet for a long time.
Growing up, there was little space to be heard.
Life moved around what was needed, what was practical.
Emotion had to find its own way, often without language, often without witness.
Painting became the place where it could exist.
Not to explain, but to hold what couldn’t be spoken.
To give form to something that was always present, but rarely seen.
My process is not about control.
It is about listening — to tension, to movement, to what insists on emerging.
I work in layers, building and breaking, allowing the image to shift.
Each painting is a negotiation between holding on and letting go.
Composition is where things begin to align.
It is how I connect an inner reality with something that can exist outside of me —
a way of making the invisible tangible.
Through this work, I also reach outward.
In the hope of connecting — of finding a space where something is shared,
where we can be present without the weight of isolation.
A work feels finished when something settles.
When the image resonates with what was there from the beginning — even if I couldn’t name it.
And sometimes it doesn’t fully resolve.
Sometimes what remains unsaid becomes the starting point of the next piece.
This is where my work is moving now — towards abstraction.
Not as a concept, but as a necessity.
A space where things don’t need to be explained to be felt.
Figuration still appears at times.
But only when it arrives on its own terms.
What you see is not a conclusion.
It is an opening.
