I did not enter art through academic paths… I found it waiting in small details, in overlooked corners, in things most people pass by without noticing. I see it in the way light touches a surface, in the traces time leaves behind, and in the quiet each object carries. I am drawn to material before form—I touch it, test it, and listen to what it holds. I do not believe that objects are lifeless—everything around me is alive in its own way, carrying memory and a subtle pulse. Each material, to me, has a spirit, and sometimes knows what it can become better than I do. In my watercolor work, I let the water lead… it flows, it decides, it shapes the outcome. I do not control it as much as I accompany it, listening to its transformations. I work between watercolor and mixed media, where color meets texture and spontaneity meets exploration. I do not seek perfection, but honesty… something that lingers, something that can be seen and felt. For me, art is not a taught path, but an ongoing discovery— a way of understanding things, and allowing them to be reborn differently… closer, and more true.
About the Artist
I see art in the unspoken… in the quiet trace between light and shadow, in the pulse of silent things. I listen to material and water, letting them write the story as it wishes to be born.
