About me

Art is not something I chose — it is something that chose me.
What drives me to art is an inner calling to remember:
to remember the sacred intelligence of the body,
the quiet wisdom of the soul,
and the ancient dialogue between earth and cosmos.
My artistic practice arises from lived experience — from moments of rupture and renewal, from deep encounters with transformation, healing, and expanded states of consciousness. Art, for me, is a ritual space where the invisible becomes visible and inner landscapes find form. It is a bridge between psychology and spirituality, between the personal and the collective.
I am driven by the desire to create spaces of resonance.
Spaces where viewers do not merely observe, but feel — where something within them is gently awakened. My work invites presence, intimacy, and remembrance. It speaks to the parts of us that exist beyond language, beyond time.
Movement, voice, image, and symbol flow through my work as living forces. Influenced by geomancy, ritual, and a deep relationship with nature, my art is rooted in the body while reaching toward the infinite. Each piece becomes a threshold — an invitation to step inward and encounter one’s own truth.
Ultimately, what drives me to art is devotion:
to transformation,
to authenticity,
and to the quiet power of beauty as a healing force.
Art is my way of listening —
and my way of answering.
