Dedicated to probing the nuances of contemporary issues in the digital sphere, my artistic endeavors traverse a diverse terrain encompassing culture and technology. My work, spanning mediums such as paintings, digital animations, and installations, serves as a profound exploration of societal structures and the potential challenges looming in our future. With a meticulous fusion of extensive research and artistic expression, I aspire to craft thought-provoking pieces that ignite meaningful dialogues about the complexities of our digital societies. Each artwork functions as a reflective mirror, urging viewers to delve into the intricacies of our lives and the collective future we are shaping.

Employing a unique technique, my paintings weave together layers of drawings, collages, and print transfers, creating a profound sense of depth and spatiality. In the curation process, I meticulously align visual elements with a written description, ensuring that conceptual clarity structures the immersive experience presented to the public. My digital animations further extend these explorations, transforming static imagery into dynamic narratives that emphasize the fluid nature of digital existence. By animating my paintings, I blur the boundaries between physical and virtual spaces, reinforcing themes of impermanence, memory, and the evolving relationship between humanity and technology.
