Artist Statement:

My work explores landscape, floral, and figurative forms through oil and cold wax, focusing on the space between representation and abstraction. Rather than depicting specific places or narratives, the paintings aim to distill an atmosphere or emotional residue—what remains after an experience rather than a record of it.

The paintings are intended to invite sustained looking, offering a quiet, grounded presence that leaves room for the viewer’s own interpretation.
