I started painting and writing calligraphy as a means of escaping reality, but little did I know how much it would change my view of the world, and of life.

 

When I started, I was a blank canvas myself - which allowed me to explore various different mediums from oil paint to acrylic and oil pastels without any "rules". New mediums provided me with exciting opportunities to experiment with different textures and layers as I was only familiar with watercolor.

 

Painting intuitively is a very meditative, peaceful process that has allowed me to learn to be vulnerable, calm my thoughts, and to express myself on canvas. It has also taught me to see the beauty in imperfections. I love the idea of creating something out of nothing, but contrastingly, the rules and repetitive motions of calligraphy—the complete opposite of painting abstractly—feeds my need for perfection. 

 

My paintings are very personal and they explore the connections between my emotions, relationships with people, my environment and anything around my life. And all I want, is for my art to be able to do the same for you, in a way that is truly yours.
