My practice explores how visual form can function as a mode of inquiry. Rather than treating painting as a means of representation, I approach it as a space in which questions of perception, meaning, and human experience can be examined through structure, colour, and materiality.

I am interested in the systems that shape how we understand ourselves and the world around us. Working primarily through abstraction, I use geometric forms, grids, and modular structures as frameworks for exploring relationships between order and instability, coherence and fragmentation. These structures are not intended to impose certainty, but to create conditions in which tension, ambiguity, and reflection can coexist.

Colour plays a central role in my work. Rather than describing or illustrating, it functions as an active presence, shaping atmosphere, perception, and spatial experience. Surface, texture, and relief further contribute to this process, allowing the work to operate as both an image and a physical object.

My paintings do not seek to provide answers or fixed interpretations. Instead, they invite a slower mode of looking — one that encourages reflection, attentiveness, and a reconsideration of habitual ways of seeing. Through this process, I aim to create works that balance intellectual structure with sensory experience, offering space for contemplation within an increasingly fragmented world.
