Over the past several years, my work has centered on invented figures—forms that emerge from imagination rather than observation. I approach these figures through the lens of abstract painting, using layered gestures, unconventional tools, and intuitive mark-making to build their presence. While rooted in the human form, these figures resist realism; instead, they exist in emotional, symbolic, or psychological space.

I begin each painting without a fixed destination. Through spontaneous moves—scraping, glazing, drawing, reworking—I gradually locate structure within chaos. The figures often arrive unexpectedly, sometimes disappearing and reemerging through the process. This rhythm of appearing and dissolving reflects my interest in impermanence, ambiguity, and the tension between image and abstraction.

My work engages with dualities: representation and erasure, clarity and confusion, control and surrender. Each painting becomes a site of negotiation between what is seen and what is felt.
