However, it was in 2022 that my art took a whole new direction. When I was going through a phase of depression, I used art as therapy to find and rescue myself.

My composition emerges gradually. measure, and life appears there. where there was only a white paper.

My goal is that people can see my works as a dreamlike representation of our life energy and connect to it in a meaningful way. their turn.
