A statement by the artist

 

My work begins in the spaces where the natural world reveals its underlying structures—where growth and decay, expansion and collapse, operate in quiet but profound cycles.  I am drawn to the subtle forces that shape life on both microscopic and cosmic scales. Through abstraction, I explore how these processes echo across the universe, and how they form an intricate, interdependent story of existence.

​

My formal education in biology taught me to look closely at the mechanisms of life: the splitting of a cell, the slow breakdown of organic matter, the recursive patterns that repeat from the smallest biological unit to the motion of galactic bodies. These frameworks permeate my work, not as literal illustrations, but as conceptual anchors. They guide how I build a painting—through layering, fragmentation, and shifts of scale—inviting viewers to sense the rhythms and instabilities that govern the natural world.

​

Nature appears in my paintings not as a fixed image, but as a living process. I am drawn to decomposition, transformation, and the moments in which forms dissolve into something new. Decay especially fascinates me—its quiet, methodical unraveling, and the way it mirrors cosmic processes of entropy and renewal. In my work, these transitions become abstract gestures that blur the boundary between matter breaking down and matter becoming something else. I aim to create surfaces that feel alive, as if caught between emergence and disappearance.

​

Abstraction offers me a language expansive enough to hold these ideas. By manipulating scale, I create compositions that oscillate between the intimate and the infinite: a shape might read as a cellular structure on one glance and as a planetary form on another. This fluidity is essential to my practice. It reflects my belief that the same patterns—division, dispersion, accumulation—are at play across every level of the universe. Painting becomes a way to map these parallels, to trace the connective tissue between biological and cosmic systems.

​

Central to my practice is an ongoing contemplation of existence and our place within these vast networks of transformation. I am driven by questions rather than answers: How do we locate ourselves within processes that exceed our perception? What does it mean to live in a universe governed by both order and dissolution? My paintings emerge from sitting inside these questions, allowing them to shape my gestures, my surfaces, and the spaces I create.

​

Ultimately, my work is an invitation to slow down and enter a field of layered time—where the microscopic and the astronomical touch, where decay is inseparable from creation, and where the viewer can sense the delicate threads connecting all forms of life. Through painting, I hope to open a space of wonder and reflection, offering a quiet encounter with the vast, intertwined processes that define our shared existence.
