ARTIST'S STATEMENT

My work is deeply influenced by the power of experiences, archetypes and symbolism. As such, I express myself through mixed media. I aim to create a visual language that is both personal and universal, inviting viewers to connect with the deeper, underlying themes that pervade our collective consciousness. I believe that timeless and universal images hold the key to expressing complex emotions and ideas in a way that is immediate, profound and universal.

As a child who immigrated, stories and images allowed me to better understand the world around me and the different people that inhabit it. Recurring metaphors and images throughout cultures continue to fascinate me. At the core of my artistic practice is a belief in the power of images, colors and experience to communicate complex emotions and ideas. Through my creation process, I seek to evoke a sense of depth in my work, inviting the viewer to look beyond the surface and engage with the hidden meanings that lie within. I strive to create pieces that are both visually striking and emotionally resonant.

After a Bachelor’s in Sociology and in History of Art and Visual Culture at UCSC, I chose to focus on the research and conservation aspects of art history with my Master’s at l’Ecole du Louvre. These studies allowed me to broaden my creation and vision for my art. I draw on a wide range of materials and techniques to express the vast scope of our shared inner experiences. This eclectic approach allows me to create pieces that evoke both the ancient myths that have shaped our world and the dystopian landscape of the present day.

By exploring archetypes visually, I aim to tap into the collective unconscious and create art that speaks to the fundamental aspects of human experience. My goal as an artist is to create work that inspires introspection and connection. My work is meant to be decorative and meaningful. Art is meant to be enjoyed and lived-in. It is also meant to be evocative and thought-provoking. I hope to create pieces that speak to the deepest parts of ourselves and connect each of us with the larger narrative of human experience.
