Artist Statement:

I don't paint the world. I build objects through which it can speak back — objects that don't just speak to your eyes, but to your whole body.

I mix memories, not just pigments — earth from a specific place, a stone from a shoreline, a seed from a forest I walked through. Each material is an anchor to a moment that no longer exists. The result is not a painting in the usual sense, but an artifact — something that keeps time the way a body keeps memory.
I see sounds. I hear colours. These artifacts are built as rituals — not for a crowd, but for one viewer, in one moment. Ribbons. Knots. Bells that ring when the air moves. These forms come from world traditions — from the North, from archaic beliefs and practices — but here they serve a single purpose: to interrupt the monkey mind, the restless consciousness of the modern person, and bring you back to your senses.

Take "The Depth of Summer." It began as a single moment on a summer river — golden light spreading across water lily leaves. I painted it layer by layer, adding gold leaf until the surface held both the ancient and the present. The scene existed on the walls of pyramids. It returns every summer. I just brought it back.

My work follows a cycle: descent and return. The winter artifacts are dark and sealed — memory becomes material. The summer ones are gilded and open — gold returns. Not a division between dark and light, but a record of transformation.

These artifacts are doors that don't close — even after you look away. Stay long enough, and they may reveal a secret.
If this resonates, I would be glad to share more.
