My practice emerges from presence and invites a return to it.
I create without a fixed plan, opening instead with quiet observation. From that space, movement arises naturally, guided by intuition rather than intention.
Often beginning with my non dominant hand, I sometimes paint with my eyes closed, allowing gesture to bypass habit and control. What forms on the canvas is not a representation of the external world, but a reflection of an internal state of presence.
With a background in psychology and creative arts, and a meditative approach to creating, I approach art not as something to produce, but as a space to inhabit.
Over time, this practice became a way of being with life itself. What once supported me through periods of seeking and change gradually revealed something quieter. I came to see that the role of the work was not to move me toward something else, but to bring me more fully into what was already here.
Art, for me, is a way of anchoring that arrival. My practice invites the viewer into a moment of pause. A quiet encounter. An opening into flow. A return to presence.
