There is a unique power in the interaction between the world and our perception. When we interact with our surroundings, we form a deep, personal connection with the things around us. This connection triggers memories and feelings that are buried deep in our minds. Through drawing, I use my imagination to explore relationships between the visible and the intangible. My inspiration also stems from mythological themes, which, despite the passing centuries, remain relevant to the modern human psyche. Through a visual exploration, I aim to reveal these hidden stories and create a new world where symbolic language takes centre stage.

My body of work includes pieces crafted from various materials, such as charcoal, pencil, ink, oil paint, wood and ceramics. I create both two- and three-dimensional art, generating an interplay between these forms. By combining different media, a dialogue unfolds in which both dimensions enrich and strengthen one another. My work is characterised by meticulous and detailed compositions, cloaked in a mystical atmosphere that invites the viewer to look beyond the surface.
