About me

I exist within the fragile space between body, memory, and emotion.

My practice explores inner states — how they are held within the body, take shape, and continue to resonate in memory, leaving something essential unspoken. In painting, I reveal these subtle, often invisible experiences.

I am drawn to human presence — faces, gestures, the quiet intensity of being. My figurative works emerge as emotional spaces, where the physical and the internal intertwine.

Working with forest mushrooms as part of my own technique, Micopainting, I allow chance and organic traces to become part of the image, creating a dialogue between control and unpredictability, where these traces become a metaphor for memory and its accumulation.

For me, art is a space of attention and listening, where the inner can emerge. A space in which the body, memory, and emotions can be heard and take form.
