My work is abstract, made with acrylic on canvas, built up in dense, powerful layers of color. Painting is where I go to meet emotions I don’t always have language for. Above all, anger, an emotion I kept locked away for a long time. For me, art is both an escape from reality and a deep confrontation with it: with what shaped me, what confines me, and what needs to change, especially in patriarchal structures that quietly define so much of daily life.
I mostly work on large canvases. That is where I feel most at home, scale gives the movement, the shapes and the color room to actually unfold. My main tool is the palette knife, in different sizes, I load it with paint and let intuition take over from there. Each layer has to dry before the next goes on. Between these dense, knifed layers I often work in spray paint, which adds a diffuse, almost weightless depth against the density of the knife. Balance and imbalance sit in the same painting at once, that is my way of showing that ambiguity exists, rather than resolving it.
I don’t paint to get answers. I paint to make what’s usually hidden visible, for myself first, and then as an invitation for others to look at their own patterns and suppressed feelings.
Biography
My background is creative, but not academic in the traditional art sense. Before painting, I worked in social media and marketing, developing a strong sensitivity for language, image, and how meaning is built and communicated. Painting entered my life more recently, almost as a necessity. After years of following paths shaped by other people’s expectations and beliefs, I began working with acrylics on canvas as a way to reclaim my own voice. What started as a personal practice quickly became something bigger: the most direct and honest way of expression I have found, and an urge to understand rather than just to escape. I am self-taught, and increasingly see that as a strength rather than a gap, it lets me work without inherited rules. My visual language is shaped by intuition, directness, and persistence.
