ABOUT ME

MY ARTISTIC JOURNEY

My journey into art was as unexpected as it was transformative. For most of my life, I believed I was a “numbers person, ” deeply rooted in logic and analytics. However, it was my friends who opened my eyes to a completely different truth — I am, at heart, an artist. Their encouragement led me to take my first steps into photography by enrolling in a mobile photography course, followed by a camera photography course. At the time, I didn’t even own a camera and had to borrow one from a friend. Yet something clicked. It felt as if the universe conspired to guide me — cameras, light, knowledge, and the right people seemed to flow into my life effortlessly.

As I developed my photography skills, I realised that photography was more than just capturing images; it became a profound way to connect with people and their true selves. Through my lens, I began to see my subjects in a raw, authentic light, revealing their innermost emotions. Photography also became a form of self-healing, allowing me to process and transform the challenges I had experienced in life. Over time, I discovered that visual art and mixed media have the power to heal not only the artist but others as well.

Today, my work speaks to those seeking more than just visuals — it is for individuals who value emotional depth and authentic connections. Whether you are decorating your home with contemporary photography, looking for portraits that capture your essence, or searching for meaningful pieces to inspire reflection and healing, my art is created with you in mind. By blending photography, video art, and mixed media, I explore themes of ancestry, nature, and personal growth, offering timeless artistry that resonates on a deeply human level.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I create art that captures the fragile, timeless connections between memory, human presence, and the natural world. Through photography, double exposure, blurring, and mixed media, I explore timeless unity — a space where past, present, and future merge, and where emotions, life, and nature coexist beyond time.

My work is drawn to the quiet, often unseen moments that make life profound: the curve of a petal, the light on the water, the fleeting gestures between people. Flowers, the sea, gentle touches, and intimate glimpses of life weave together to form images that invite reflection and feeling.

Each piece is an exploration of human connection — with oneself, with others, and with the world around us. I aim to show how the ordinary can become extraordinary, how a moment can hold memory, emotion, and a sense of timelessness.

Through my practice, simplicity transforms into depth, fleeting moments become enduring stories, and personal experience resonates universally. My art is an invitation to slow down, to feel, and to rediscover the delicate threads that connect life, emotion, and nature in a shared, timeless harmony.
