I’m a multidisciplinary artist exploring emotion through abstract forms, gestural drawing, and experimental materials.

“The Butterfly Effect” uses layered abstract art, featuring plaster, heavy textures, and gestural drawing, to show how seemingly insignificant occurrences can cause substantial emotional transformations. Movement, repetition, and chance create spontaneity, revealing the lasting power of unintentional actions. Collage, distortion, and contrast between fragility and weight evoke personal intimacy, transformation, and connection themes. Just like a memory, each mark becomes part of a visual chain reaction.

Final work

Abstract human figure subtly emerges from green, wave like lines layered over a deep blue background.

Coincidence

Colors blend and ripple across the canvas in a gestural, wave-like abstract painting.

Wave propagation

Triangle shaped wood pieces are joined together in an abstract composition and covered with thick plaster, then splattered with black paint.

Coalesce

Two connected abstract painting depict nude women seated in still poses.

The After

Research and process

A naked women figure slightly covered with torn papers (collage), layered with an image of three young girls dancing.

Girlhood

The paper is pierced in the middle, revealing the textured layers of tissue and masking tape.
