I am an abstract painter and writer who explores the emotional and intuitive realms beyond the literal. I am deeply drawn to the freedom and emotional depth that abstraction allows. My work is not about replicating the visible world, but about translating feelings, memories, and energy into form, colour, and texture using various mediums such as acrylics, oils, charcoal and pastels to express what words often cannot. I am inspired by literature, history, music, design, nature, and all things “beautiful”. My process is fluid and instinctive, often driven by energy, movement, and the desire to capture the unseen. Each piece I create begins as an exploration—sometimes guided by a specific emotion or thought, other times entirely intuitive, allowing the process to unfold organically rather than following a fixed plan. When intuition leads the way, the materials speak and evolve on their own terms. Through layering, movement, and contrast, I capture the tension between chaos and order, stillness and motion. My goal is not to dictate meaning, but to open a space for personal interpretation, reflection, emotional connection and discovery.
I believe that abstraction speaks to something primal in all of us—a language beyond words that resonates with the subconscious. The emotional resonance of abstraction is fascinating. Abstract art is not only a visual experience but an invitation to feel deeply, question freely, and connect inwardly. I want the viewer to bring their own experiences to the work and to see something new each time they return to it. Through my paintings, I invite others to pause, look inward, and find meaning beyond the surface.
