About me

I work within a material language shaped by mineral surfaces, structural tension, and slow processes of change. Pigments, washes, and matte textures form the foundation of my practice. Through layered, earthy fields and condensed, angular zones, I create atmospheres where density, erosion, and transformation become visible.

I explore how surfaces accumulate traces — abrasion, deposits, fractures, and compression. These marks are not disruptions but extensions of the same material logic: evidence of use, time, and decay embedded in the surface.

My work moves between organic transitions and precise, constructed edges. Geometric structures, sharp lines, and open fields coexist in a tension that defines my visual language. This interplay of stillness, hardness, clarity, and slow material movement forms the core of my practice.

The result is an open system in which different material states and structural poles can coexist — connected through a shared vocabulary of minerality, structure, and temporal depth.
