Statement 

As an artist, I am driven by the fleeting beauty of life, from humans to flora and fauna. Through my paintings, I seek to immortalize my subjects in their entirety, capturing not only their physical features but also their character and essence. I connect with people through body language more than words. Floral still lifes offer me the chance to project my emotions onto flowers with light and brushstrokes. My art celebrates the transient beauty of nature and the enduring power of creativity.
