Artist statement
In my paintings, I capture the continuity of life and the depth of emotions reflected in nature. Watercolors serve as my medium of choice, breathing life into my artistic expressions on paper. Presently, my focus is on portraying the sea as a reflection of human feelings and emotions. Whether one is feeling joy or sorrow, strength or vulnerability, gazing at the sea always unveils a poignant reflection of those emotions.
