Welcome
I’m not the kind of artist who has a personal studio or hundreds of paintings in galleries. If you visited my home, you wouldn’t even know that I paint—unless I happened to be working on something at that very moment. And when I do paint, it means a moment has arrived when I can no longer express my emotions in words, when I look away, when I need to be alone.
I only have a few paintings. They capture moments I didn’t want to, couldn’t, or wasn’t able to put into words. Behind each one you’ll find a story—an invitation to understand what led me to paint it. Or maybe my story won’t matter to you at all, because you’ll find your own story in the painting instead.
This website is a place where I let my paintings breathe. It is a small timeline filled with chaos, light, silence, and turning points. If you find something of yourself in them, I’ll be glad. And if not, I’m simply grateful that you spent a moment here with me.
