Artist Statement
As a result of my solo travels around the world, days spent in museums, different cultures, beliefs and traditions, my deeply rooted philosophical, spiritual and romantic ideas make me want to explore various expressions onto the canvas.
I find my own voice in an expressionistic art form by using bold colors and strong brush strokes to express moments in my life, rendering myself to my analytic and emotional mind, to tell my story in a lyrical way without words.
I constantly like to explore new techniques and approaches in colors, surface and design. My emphasis is on composition, lines, movement and proportion. Image transfers, mixed media as well as metal embossing, ceramics and Jewelry making capture my interest at the current time.
