My work exists at the intersection of realism and expressionism, where precise observation meets emotional intuition. Through portraiture and figurative painting, I explore the quiet, often overlooked moments that reveal the depth of our shared humanness. I am drawn to the mundane —not as something insignificant, but as a fertile ground for meaning, memory, and emotional resonance.

Working primarily in oil, I engage with the material slowly and deliberately, allowing the medium’s rich texture and luminosity to mirror the complexity of the inner world. Each brushstroke is a negotiation between control and spontaneity, reflecting the balance I seek between representation and feeling.

The figures I paint are not simply subjects—they are vessels of lived experiences, vulnerability, and presence. Their stillness or subtle gesture becomes a language, one that speaks to the viewer on a visceral level. In this way, my practice becomes a search for connection—between myself, the subject, and those who witness the work.
