Transformation of inner emotion into gesture, where each mark—from subtle to bold—reveals the movement of feeling made visible.
My work emerges from an internal dialogue — a quiet conversation between emotion and movement. Each piece begins as an impulse, a flicker of feeling that takes form through gesture. Rather than depicting the external world, I draw from what stirs beneath the surface: memory, intuition, and sensation. The act of creating becomes a process of translation — transforming inner energy into visible rhythm.
Gesture is my language. Through the physicality of mark-making, I explore the range between subtle restraint and bold release. A delicate line may whisper a thought; a sweeping stroke might embody an eruption of clarity or tension. These contrasts reflect the ebb and flow of human experience — moments of stillness intertwined with bursts of vitality. The canvas becomes a record of movement, a trace of both control and surrender.
Ultimately, my work is an expression of presence — a visual meditation on being. Each mark is both spontaneous and intentional, born from the need to connect the internal landscape with the external world. I seek not to define meaning but to evoke resonance, inviting viewers to feel the pulse of emotion that lives within gesture, to sense in the work a reflection of their own unseen interior.
