Artist Statement
My artistic journey has led me through various media and subjects, but it was in encaustic wax that I discovered my true creative voice. This ancient medium offers a rare balance between control and freedom, allowing me to work in ways that are both sculptural and painterly. The process of melting and shaping wax brings an energy and sense of movement to my work—each piece becoming a moment suspended in time.
Color is central to my practice. I’m drawn to its subtleties, complexities, and emotional depth. By exploring color relationships, I create compositions that evoke tension, harmony, and curiosity—inviting the viewer to pause, feel, and reflect. I seek to stir both surface and subconscious responses, using contrasts, movement, and form to navigate the space between order and chaos, light and dark.
Abstraction allows me to express ideas and emotions that transcend the literal. It offers a meditative space where I can explore inner landscapes and invite others to do the same. Through this work, I strive to create meaningful visual experiences that connect us to ourselves and to something larger than language can hold.
