About
STATEMENT
Creating is my passion. Through my artwork, I find meaning in everything that surrounds me. The main two elements portrayed in my paintings are butterflies and astronauts. I relate to the concept of astronauts mostly because I always find myself in space wondering. Although I feel more down-to-earth and focused while working, my mind takes me to a place where surrealism becomes a reality while creating. Butterflies represent the constant transformation and growth within us, how we are always looking for better versions of ourselves.
In my artwork, The characters and elements portrayed are open for each viewer to give their meaning and discover or empathize in their own way. I use different processes to create an art piece. Mainly I work with oil and acrylic paint, watercolor pencils, and digital art. However, I always find myself experimenting with new materials and techniques. That's the reason every piece has its course, but the essence of what I want to project remains. I intend to create statement art where painting and sculptures can draw people in and feel mesmerized. To join their own world of wonder, where curiosity has no limit, and their feelings are enhanced.
