I am an abstract oil painter with an expressive style, known for my colorful approach. Color is at the heart of my artistic language, and I am fascinated by how different surfaces and shades interact with one another.

At times, I apply oil paint thickly and generously to create strong textures. At other times, I use it in a lighter, more transparent way, similar to watercolor washes. My creative process is guided mainly by intuition. Rather than aiming for perfection, I focus on staying open to the process and allowing the painting to develop freely.
My work can carry melancholy, but also joy, playfulness, and the beauty of life. The themes shift, just like life itself, reflecting its many shades and emotions.

I am inspired by the possibility of telling stories through color. As an artist, I hope the coming years will bring meaningful moments of painting, color-rich expression, and the courage to reveal rather than conceal.
