Artist Statement
ARTIST STATEMENT


My art is a visual dialogue on identity, a reflection of self, an exploration of awareness, and a journey toward understanding what is, what was and what is yet to be. I create to spark connection, to invite viewers into my narrative, and to allow them to see themselves within my work, without limitations.

My Art speaks where words fail. My work expresses the unspoken such as love, loss, betrayal, resilience, politics, and the silent struggles of the human condition. Every piece is born from what I see, feel, and hear; my surroundings, emotions, and personal experiences fuel my creative process.

I practice figurative surrealistic conceptual art, using my medium as a vessel to translate complex thoughts into tangible forms. My process is deeply immersive, requiring time, reflection, and a fusion of ideas before a piece comes to life. My passion for art is rooted in an unending fascination with beauty and nature, and my work seeks to establish a profound relationship between humanity and the natural world.

A recurring theme in my work is the moonlight and 7 birds, sometimes I conceal identity of my subject by using lush green foliage ,inhaler or in the serene glow of the moon. This technique is intentional, serving as a metaphor for reflection and self-discovery. Through my art, I encourage viewers to explore the depths of the human soul, often drawing them in through the expressive power of the eyes, windows to one’s essence.

Ultimately, my art is not just about representation, self awareness,it is about feeling, connection, and a shared experience. a visual story that continues long after the canvas is complete.
