My artistic journey has transitioned from representational oil paintings, focusing on still lifes and figures in interiors, to abstract works that explore the interplay between interior and exterior spaces. As my style evolved, my interest shifted towards composition, painting from memory to capture the essence of a place and the nuances of light. This evolution led me to collage, a medium that aligns with my approach of layering and assembling fragments to create a visual memory. Both process and composition are central to my art. I begin by experimenting with color palettes drawn from recollections, gradually piecing together these color fragments to form a cohesive image.
