“Life is a series of experiences that leave an impact, shaping my actions, feelings, and contemplations. Even seemingly insignificant experiences contribute to my internal makeup, tracing back to create a unique effect within me, which forms my identity. I see this accumulation of effects as a journey of self-knowledge, which drives my art, as I create a unique, immersive experience for the viewer through mark-makings and colours. I explore the possibility of oil paint as a medium and its ability, employing brushstrokes as the factors that evoke a range of emotions and reactions. Rather than focusing on a specific narrative or ideology, I am interested in the potential effects of the pictorial and the multifaceted experiences it can offer. Through repetition, overlay, and gestural mark-making paired with overwhelming colours, I elicit an endless array of resonances. Creating a realm of internalization, I invite the viewers to participate in an ongoing 'Open-ended pictorial' discourse.”
