When we immerse ourselves in artistic expression, we delve into the depths of our souls, uncovering profound wellsprings of wonder, astonishing bestowals of beauty, and serene revelations. In the act of creation, we are summoned to partake in playfulness, poignant moments, and unexpected energies that rejuvenate us, breathing new life into our sense of purpose. My enduring fascination has always been with intersecting geometric planes suspended in space.
After establishing my distinctive style characterized by undulating waves of suspended figures and melding forms, flowing together like a harmonious symphony, I felt a compelling urge to embark on a fresh artistic lexicon. Thus, embracing transformation, transition, and reacquainting oneself with their essence becomes an indispensable fragment of an artist’s journey—an aspect seamlessly woven into my creative pursuit. Through my recent series of works, my intention is to traverse the realms of mythology, folklore, innocence, and the resplendence of beauty ubiquitous in our surroundings.
These evanescent images captivate the observer, initiating a silent dialogue into the dimensions of a transcendent reality. The continuum of fleeting shapes, ensnared in overlapping strata of lived encounters, brings forth glimpses of the past, present, and future as an ever-shifting flux.
