My practice is rooted in painting as a space of inquiry rather than representation. I am interested in how an image is constructed, destabilized, and reconfigured through perception, memory, and material process. While many of the works begin from figuration, the figure is never treated as fixed or fully resolved. Instead, it moves through fragmentation, erasure, and painterly interruption, oscillating between visibility and dissolution.

I approach the canvas as a site of negotiation between control and contingency. Layers accumulate, gestures are revised, surfaces are disrupted, and forms remain intentionally unstable. In this process, abstraction is not separate from the figure, but emerges from within it. The paintings develop through sustained engagement with structure, surface, rhythm, and spatial tension, allowing the work to remain open rather than illustrative or narrative.

My work is informed by contemporary painting discourse, critical theory, and questions surrounding subjectivity, visuality, and the instability of meaning. I am particularly drawn to the threshold where perception begins to shift — where the image resists certainty and enters a more psychological and affective space. Lived experience and cultural memory also operate as underlying conditions within the work, not through direct depiction, but through atmosphere, fragmentation, and material presence.

Ultimately, I see painting as an active and unresolved process: a way of examining how images hold, conceal, and transform meaning over time.
