Artist Statement

My work explores perception, emotion, and memory through layered abstraction. I build paintings gradually, using transparent and opaque layers so that traces remain, shift or disappear over time.

I often begin with a subject or idea, but through the process of painting it becomes more intuitive and open-ended. I’m interested in the tension between clarity and obscurity, control and accident.

Rather than aiming for a fixed meaning, I want the viewer to stay with the work long enough for relationships between layers, gestures and forms to emerge.
