« Reconnecting with the act of seeing »
I explore abstraction as a way to return to the act of seeing itself. By removing narrative, depth, and recognizable imagery, I allow color and form to exist on their own, without directing the viewer toward a fixed meaning.
My work is inspired by how a child first encounters the world, before things are named or defined. In that state, color and shape are experienced more freely and openly. Through painting, I seek to approach this kind of direct, intuitive perception.
In the studio, I intentionally avoid figures and narrative elements. This allows me to focus on the relationships between colors and forms. On the canvas, they interact, shift, and come alive as a dynamic presence.
The paintings do not represent something specific. They function as a space where the viewer can pause, look without expectation, and connect with their own sensations, emotions, and memories. Painting becomes a place where seeing is immediate, personal, and alive.
