Artist statement
My artistic practice emerges from a continuous negotiation between structured form and the tactile vitality of materials. Grounded in an academic art background, I merge classical techniques with expressive contemporary gestures, translucent anatomical forms, and bold symbolic contrasts.
Working across mediums—including oil painting, linocut, mosaic, and spatial sculpture—I approach the body not merely as an anatomical subject, but as a vessel for history, memory, and transformation. Corporeality reveals itself through a rhythmic, hands-on engagement with physical media: the sharp impression on paper, the density of stone, or the fluid stroke of oil paint.
At the core of my research is the female experience and the ongoing dynamic between external strength and internal fragility. I aim to create visual spaces that unsettle and provoke, inviting the viewer into a deep contemplation of identity, freedom, and grounded authenticity.
