Artist Statement
I paint nature in its purest form, removing roads, buildings, and human-made elements to reveal the untouched landscape.
My colors are pre-selected and never blended on the canvas, ensuring perfect balance. I work in linear patterns—fluid yet controlled—allowing emotion to guide my exploration of color and movement.
The moon, a recurring element in my work, embodies mystery and energy, while my trees connect life above and below the ground. Even in winter’s stillness, they appear to dance on the canvas.
