Artist Statement: Unveiling the Silent Narratives

From an early age, my love for cinema and the idea of capturing a scene, a story, or a narrative inspired me to paint. I strive to instill each piece with a sense of story, giving the opportunity to inject your own interpretations. I aim to create images that don’t give away any idea of time—is it the future, past, or an alternative present? This ambiguity encourages a personal connection, making every painting unique to each person, as they bring their own stories and perspectives to the artwork.
