My practice moves between memory and imagination, between the visible and the barely felt. I approach art-making as a form of intuitive excavation — an attempt to trace the inner rhythms of experience before they become words.

I work across a variety of mediums and styles, often guided more by sensation than by structure. The result is a body of work that resists uniformity, but often returns to recurring themes: dreams, animality, domestic space, desire, and transitional states of consciousness.

Some of these works unfold in loosely defined series:

• dreams — images that drift between memory and dream, capturing fragile or surreal fragments of the subconscious
• Festum Animalium — a celebration of wildness, instinct, and the symbolic presence of animals
• Pleasure is not allowed — a reflection on the tensions between desire and repression, tenderness and constraint
• The poetics of space — intimate pieces exploring the emotional charge of domestic interiors and personal space
• Hypnagogia — works born from the threshold between wakefulness and sleep, where images appear and dissolve

This is a living archive, not a fixed identity. I welcome dissonance, shifts, and the freedom to move between languages — visual, emotional, and symbolic.
