Artist Statement

As an artist, I embark on an interdisciplinary quest for artistic possibilities, blending an electronic foundation with classical techniques of painting, objet d'art, and installation.

My work is a reflection on the relationship between technology and humanity, focusing on the exploration of our condition as beings that exist both virtually and in reality. I am concerned about the swiftness with which technology has permeated our lives and how it can negatively impact our existence, the environment, and society as a whole. I believe that technology is so dominant that it is challenging to envision a future where we can control it and safeguard our freedom and voice. However, despite valuing our human essence, I fear that our ability to remain objective and shape technology may not be sufficient to shield us from its negative influence.

I deeply believe that art is common ground between the artist and the viewer, a platform that transcends personal narratives and impacts us all. It is a moment of pause to reflect on our surroundings and ourselves.
