A self-taught painter, the artist creates works that blend abstraction, symbolism, and conceptual elements, often using imaginary figures and faces that emerge spontaneously. Driven by a sense of creative unpredictability, the paintings balance mental images, impulsive gestures, and ideas, giving rise to figures, gestures, and symbols—sometimes people, sometimes branches, or unnamed memories. Materials are chosen from what is available or invented images, resulting in works that may not always be conventionally beautiful but provoke emotion and varied perspectives. Recurring interests include identity, the passage of time, and the flawed beauty of everyday life. Each piece serves as a reflection of an inner search for self-understanding.
