Artist Statement
My paintings construct narrative worlds where the familiar merges with the uncanny, drawing from the psychological and symbolic language of the early 20th-century Surrealists. Figures, often women, inhabit spaces that feel both intimate and estranged, where animals, hybrid beings, and dreamlike interiors unfold with quiet intensity. These scenes resist linear explanation, instead operating as visual allegories shaped by intuition, myth, and the subconscious.
