My work reflects the world around me - whether it’s the way the light shines on a tree trunk, a root I stumble on, a feature of the human face or hands, or an insect sitting on a rusty nail. I stop and carefully study the subject with my eyes, then paint the image in my mind before transferring it to the surface.
What matters most to me when I create is that the work feels alive, not stagnant or overworked. That’s why I often start by drawing with a brush or sketching with a soft Derwent pencil on tracing paper. These tools and methods help my work to stay in motion, evolving gradually and naturally. I focus on the whole composition rather than on the details, aiming to capture a sense of presence —the beauty that I see and hope to share through my art with others.
