About me

Women often take center stage in my paintings, embodying a balance of beauty, strength, and mystery.

My approach to color is reserved, as I believe harmony is essential; achieving this balance is one of my key goals, reflecting the visual essence of painting. 

Music is a significant influence on my process, inspiring the energy and flow of my work. My dreams are also a source of inspiration.
