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 Timeless III, I wanted to stop the clock. While the previous works in this series used texture to suggest the feeling of duration, this piece confronts the concept head-on. I’ve taken a familiar instrument of order—the clock—and surrendered it to the chaos of the material world.
I chose to embed the clock into the structure paste so that it feels like a relic being slowly reclaimed by nature or the elements. I wanted the heavy, white 'crust' to literally climb over the numbers, suggesting that the physical world remains long after our systems of measurement have failed. The horizontal bands of gray and earth-toned glazes represent the layers of history that continue to move forward, indifferent to the hands on the dial. For me, this work is about the tension between the mechanical and the elemental. It is a reminder that while we try to track every second, there is a much larger, slower pulse to existence that is truly beyond our control. It is a moment of stillness found within the wreckage of time
