about me

My art is deeply influenced by two of the most compelling artists of the 19th and 20th centuries: Édouard Manet and Wassily Kandinsky. Manet, often regarded as a bridge between Realism and Impressionism, revolutionized modern painting with his bold compositions and unconventional subject matter. His work, characterized by loose brushstrokes and a focus on light and color, captured fleeting moments with an immediacy that defied tradition. Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art, explored the emotional resonance of color and form, creating compositions that vibrate with energy and transcend representation.

​

In my own work, I strive to merge these influences—capturing the ephemeral beauty of everyday life, much like Manet, while embracing the expressive dynamism of Kandinsky. My line art is fluid yet deliberate, using bold strokes to evoke movement and emotion. Non-representational forms emerge organically, inviting viewers to interpret meaning beyond the literal.

​

One of my favorite paintings, Manet’s "The Luncheon on the Grass", defied artistic conventions with its radical composition and unidealized figures. It wasn’t just a picnic scene—it was a statement, a challenge to the norms of its time. Similarly, Kandinsky’s "Composition VII" is a symphony of color and form, a visual explosion that speaks directly to the soul without the constraints of perspective or realism.

​

Beyond these artistic influences, my work has been profoundly shaped by Jenny Odell’s book "How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy". Odell’s call to resist the commodification of attention resonates deeply with me. In a world that demands constant productivity, I embrace slowness, contemplation, and presence. My art is an act of defiance—an invitation to pause, to engage, to simply be.

​

I create with materials that require minimal adjustment, allowing my focus to remain on the act of creation itself. Each piece is a reflection of a moment, a feeling, a connection—whether to the self, to others, or to the world at large.

Through my illustrations and merchandise, I hope to share this philosophy: that art is not just an object, but an experience—one that invites reflection, sparks emotion, and fosters connection.
