Painting is one of the most intuitive ways I express myself. I rarely begin with a fixed plan. Most of the time, I simply start and let the painting unfold in the moment, following whatever feels right.

My work is rooted in abstract expressionism, sometimes with hints of surrealism and painting mostly with mixed media. I’m drawn to fluid movement, organic textures and the freedom of letting one thing lead to another. I paint through feeling, energy and imagination, often translating things I have seen, experienced or felt into colour, movement and form.

The ocean is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. The chaos and calm of the sea, underwater landscapes, geological layers, coral reefs, shifting light and even celestial forms often find their way into my work. Sometimes I recognise these elements while painting, sometimes only afterwards. I’m drawn to contrasts: harmony and disorder, light and shadow, mystery and clarity. I love when a painting can feel like something familiar without telling you exactly what it is. There is a lot of curiosity and playfulness in my process, and I want to leave space for the unknown.

In a world that often asks for structure, clarity and definition, I find freedom in not knowing where a painting will take me. For me, painting is a dialogue between my inner world and everything around me. Emotion becomes movement, memories become colour and intuition becomes form.

Fragments of existence

“Fragments of existence” is at the heart of my art. It is my way of reflecting on everything that moves beneath the surface, through abstract form and feeling. I paint what lingers after a moment has passed. Traces of memory, emotion and energy. The invisible threads that connect us to places, experiences and to something greater than ourselves.

I share my work because I believe art can give us a reason to pause. To step away from the noise for a moment, to look a little closer and to feel something without needing to explain it. I love the idea that a painting can speak differently to each person, and that someone might recognise a small part of themselves, a memory or a feeling in something I created. I hope my paintings can become that kind of space for someone else. Something to live with, return to and see differently over time. Something that brings a feeling, a memory or simply a little more curiosity into their everyday life.

For me, that is one of the beautiful things about owning art. It doesn’t have to tell you what to feel or mean something specific. It can simply become part of your own story, changing a little as you do.

Over the years, my artworks have found homes with collectors around the world. It still feels special to me that something that began as a very personal and intuitive process can eventually become part of someone else’s home and everyday life. I love imagining the different stories that my paintings become part of, and how the meaning of a piece can continue to grow and change once it leaves my studio.
