I’ve always lived between worlds—the seen one and the one that breathes just beneath it. Since I was young, I sensed stories in silence, images layered behind ordinary moments. Art became the way I translated those unseen layers into something others could feel.

I create to understand myself, to process memory, to turn the messy, beautiful weight of being alive into something meaningful. My work comes from intuition first—collage fragments, textures, old pages, pigments and symbols—pieces of history layered into dreamlike environments. In those layers, I find echoes of memory, subconscious emotion, spiritual archetypes, and the quiet truths we don’t always speak aloud.

My paintings are portals. They reveal things slowly. They invite you to look twice—to see the figures forming in the shadows, the symbols emerging from the texture, the hidden story waiting beneath the surface. I believe the subconscious has its own language, and art is where it speaks most clearly.

I create because there are worlds inside me that insist on being seen.
Because healing is a process of reimagining.
Because beauty is a form of survival.
Because art is how I remember who I am.

This is my story, but the moment you see yourself inside the work—
it becomes yours, too.
