My art begins in the space between the known and the unknown, where intuition and play take over.
I work with reclaimed, overlooked materials to create abstract, wall-mounted pieces — including assemblages, paintings, and photographic notes — that embrace texture, light, and form. Spontaneity, experimentation, and unconscious impulses guide my process.
My practice explores opposites: the conscious and the unconscious, the visceral and the cerebral, the visible and the hidden. I work with a limited palette — primarily black, blue, and metallic materials — to build a focused, distilled visual language. Black suggests mystery, ambiguity, and the merging of colours. In some works, blue acts as a visual counterpart to black; I associate it with openness, space and clarity. Metallics introduce reflective surfaces that respond to changing light, creating subtle shifts and moments of surprise.
I am drawn to lines and circles — the structures that shape our surroundings. These forms and their variations may be visible or hidden in nature, the body, or the digital world. I see them as the architecture of reality — subtle, repeating, essential.
Each work begins as a spark — often arising from unconscious impulse — and evolves through layering, removing, and reassembling. The process becomes a collaboration with the materials, revealing their hidden potential. I am intrigued by the latent possibilities of the overlooked. Each piece is a question and an answer — an invitation to pause, sense, discover, rethink, repurpose and renew.
While my work often emerges from reclaimed materials, I remain open to using more traditional ones whenever the process leads me there.
