​

I, like many, have faced profound challenges that have prompted deep reflection on the nature of existence. While humanity has made strides in healing the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of life, my recent experiences have led me to ponder a crucial question: how does one restore the soul? The same universal energy that brought our universe into being and connects us all is inherently creative, and I believe that engaging in acts of creation fosters healing and growth.

​

In retrospect, my work reveals recurring themes influenced by scientific concepts of beauty, such as the golden spiral and fractals, alongside the meditative quality of mandalas. My unique condition, Hyperthymesia, allows me to remember every day of my life, enabling me to capture not just a moment, but the passage of time in my paintings through layering, texture, and contrast. This approach transforms each piece into a dynamic representation of life’s movement and essence.
