I see myself as a visual artist, with painting as my primary medium of expression.

My creative journey has been in constant evolution – I have worked with ceramics and illustration, yet it is painting that draws me most deeply.

The main themes in my work are searching and longing. I am especially compelled by the longing to perceive the invisible within the visible. I am fascinated by the idea of creating space in a broader sense, not only on the canvas, but also within the viewer’s perception of the world.

In my practice I paint abstract works on large-scale canvases using acrylics. I also enjoy combining techniques: acrylic with oil pastel, watercolour ink, clay, or collage. Much of my inspiration comes from walking by the sea, where I am captivated by nature’s chance compositions – stones, driftwood, branches, tangled roots washed ashore. At times I even turn such finds into tools, into brushes of my own making. This gives me the freedom to experiment with form, texture, colour, material, and meaning.

An intuitive process plays a central role in my work. I paint without sketches, letting the pieces unfold from feelings and reflections. Every step leaves a trace, creating dialogues between the layers and myself. Painting is my way of making sense of myself and the world – a language that needs no translation, but instead invites seeing and experiencing.

My creative process often begins with a subtle feeling, a fleeting moment, a phrase, a dream, a piece of music, or silence itself. Sometimes I carry the seed of an idea for years before it is ready to emerge on canvas or paper. Each of my works is born through a slow and attentive process, where presence and sensitivity are essential – both towards myself and towards the material. I search for confirmation of the sense that everything is interwoven. Layer by layer, I notice connections between human beings and the created world.

Choosing slowness in creation is deliberate for me. My experience tells me that only through true presence is it possible to go deeper – both in form and in meaning – to ripen and to allow significance to unfold.

More than answers, I seek dialogue and shared experience. I do not expect a fixed interpretation or a single understanding from the viewer. Rather, I hope my paintings evoke a certain feeling, a personal state of being. I like it when the viewer does not approach the painting as a completed answer, but as an invitation – to be present, to sense, and to listen to what the experience awakens within them. It is, in a way, a call to embark on a journey.

What I would most like is that in looking at my paintings, the viewer might feel a gentle pull to presence. I wish to create moments of recognition – that quiet inner shift when something abstract touches something profoundly personal. These works are abstractions of inner landscapes of the soul, landscapes difficult to describe in words, yet whose recognition can be immediate and clear.
