"My paintings are loaded with saturated colours, drawing inspiration from the bold energy of contemporary abstract and the raw vibrancy of Fauvism. I intentionally leave the symbolic natural elements in my work partially rendered, encouraging the viewer to focus on the expressive gestures of each brushstroke and printed method. This approach not only highlights the movement and spontaneity of the painting process but also evokes the primal urgency of cave paintings—where form was secondary to the immediacy of expression."
