My paintings arise from a desire to make sense of shifting landscapes—both within and without. Having spent my life crossing borders—geographically, culturally, and emotionally—I have come to see painting as a passage that unites polarities: past and present, memory and imagination, figuration and abstraction.
Rooted in phenomenology and inspired by writers like Lewis Carroll, philosophers like Merleau-Ponty, and painters such as Peter Doig, Hurvin Anderson, and Mamma Andersson, my work reflects a deep curiosity about perception, identity, and the nature of place. The surface of each painting is a mirror and a window—offering glimpses into dreamlike spaces where the familiar and the unfamiliar collide.
Themes of displacement, belonging, and transformation recur throughout my practice. Whether evoking landscapes suspended in time or figures drifting through ambiguous terrains, my works invite viewers into a state of in-betweenness—where memory blurs into fiction and spatial boundaries dissolve.
Through layered marks, erasures, and painterly hesitation, I seek to give form to the intangible: the unseen echoes of experience, the residue of time. In this way, painting becomes a site of encounter—between myself and the world, between the viewer and their own shifting interiors.
