I am fascinated by acrylic painting, and I like to combine it with unusual textures and materials from nature, e.g., wood, rust (rust fascinates me because of its extraordinary coloring and transience), stones, and special papers. I paint on canvases, metal plates, fine papers, palettes, cardboard, and all kinds of wood. I am inspired by old factories, abandoned houses, lost places, construction sites, and everything related to textures. For me, textures shape our lives, and I try to capture this diversity in my work.
The touch, the scent, the atmosphere of my working materials take me on a journey; each piece has its own story, and form e each piece is a feeling, with the color white as a forefront in my artworks.

In Limited View, I wanted to force a confrontation between the primordial and the protected. Mud is one of our most basic, honest materials—it carries the history of the earth, and as it dries, it creates its own map of loss and survival through these deep, irregular cracks.
By placing a diagonal sheet of acrylic glass over this drying landscape, I am literally 'limiting' the view, but I’m also creating a barrier that protects the fragility of the earth. It is a study of contrasts: the rough against the smooth, the ancient against the synthetic, and the broken against the whole. For me, this piece is about the segments of nature we choose to preserve and the parts we allow to weather away. It asks the viewer to look closer at what is being hidden and to find a certain quiet strength in the fragility of a surface that is literally pulling itself apart. It is a portrait of a landscape that is both disappearing and becoming permanent at the same time
