At the heart of my work is a search for a space where we can feel at home. I am interested in the spaces we inhabit, the memories we carry, and the dreams that reveal our deepest needs and desires. I create stories filled with symbolism.
Having moved several times, changing homes and countries, I feel a particular connection to birds and their seasonal migrations. They appear throughout my work in different forms and styles—origami, cartoon-like, and realistic—serving as a metaphor for our human presence within the urban landscape.
Paintings, drawings, and multilayered works like transparencies and constructed boards fill my studio. I begin each artwork with an idea or plan, which gradually takes on a life of its own, responding to an intuitive impulse through visual elements and unexpected connections.
Objects are interpreted and rearranged in an attempt to create a new reality where the habitable and collective spaces coexist and interact.
Organic shapes and geometric configurations, opacity and transparency, color and black and white, and softness and hardness are among the contrasting pairs I explore in my work.
My goal is to create a space and a moment that encourage a dialogue between the viewer and my work. I seek to create an encounter that might trigger a feeling, a thought, a memory, or a sense of wonder.
Ultimately, I hope to open a window allowing the viewer to enter a space where the familiar and the imagined can coexist.
