My artwork is a journey through memory and place, translated onto the canvas through the process of abstraction. Each piece begins with deep observation and contemplation of a particular experience or environment. As I layer paint, the canvas evolves organically, revealing its own unique shapes, lines, and textures. This repeated layering process allows the emotions and nuances of the memory to unfold, creating a dialogue between the viewer and the work. My abstract art is an invitation to experience a memory through feeling and perception, rather than direct representation. It’s not just what you see, but what you sense—a visceral connection to a moment in time that is both personal and universal.
