This collection brings together selected paintings from different periods of my artistic practice, ranging from expressive abstraction to figurative explorations of human behavior and connection.

Through color, gesture, fragmented forms, and narrative, these works explore emotional experience, uncertainty, and the changing nature of everyday life. Included are paintings from Covid Life, a series examining how familiar human interactions were transformed during the pandemic.

Together, these works reflect an ongoing curiosity about the visible and invisible forces that shape our experience of the world.
