My work focuses on the human figure without tying it to a specific identity or story. Rather than placing subjects in a clear narrative, I let them exist in an open, subjective space. They are not portraits of particular people, but presences that suggest emotional and psychological states. By removing context, I invite ambiguity and personal interpretation, allowing viewers to connect through shared, universal feelings.
Each piece begins with figure drawings made from direct observation. These drawings are altered and built into the surface through layered mixed media, creating a textured, almost sculptural presence. Paper collage, acrylic ink, gouache, graphite, and water-soluble colored pencil are applied, sanded, and reworked in an intuitive process of loss and rediscovery, until the materials and figure resolve into a unified whole.
