Ever since I was a child, I always loved observing. Observing people, objects, scenes, whatever is around me.

Other people inspire me. It fascinates me to watch people’s behaviours, mannerisms and body language. Everyone is different in their unique way. Different physiques and different gestures, a quirky way of walking, someone laughing to themselves in a coffee shop, a pinkie sticking up while drinking tea, a suspicious look toward other people… I can spend hours trying to understand by just looking people’s moods, characters and stories.

The complexity of the human species fascinates me, and I am thrilled by the challenge of translating this complexity on the canvas. To show the true human, that real person who hides under a socially adjusted outer mask. If there is a chance to look close, sometimes I can see it in one’s eyes. And that’s what I try to achieve with my portraits – that’s what I want to reflect on the canvas.

I am also very close to Nature. It grounds me and gives me strength. When painting abstracts, I am dealing with my emotions by connecting to Nature and the feelings of escaping, longing and nurture I get from it. I feel at home, I feel inspired, I feel that I am a part of it, a part of something.

It is very hard to just stick to one thing. I am constantly experimenting in the process of my discovery. My works varies as my life varies and I am never the same person standing in front of the easel.

I want to share these feelings with others and show them something that they would otherwise never see, never notice.
