Context
My work explores the tension between geometric structure and intuitive expression. I begin by layering thin colored papers onto the canvas, creating overlapping forms and translucent surfaces that serve as a framework for further intervention.
Using acrylics, chalk, markers, and pen, I build up and remove layers, allowing traces to appear, disappear, and re-emerge. My palette is deliberately restrained, with soft blues, yellows, pinks, and greys contrasted by vibrant accents of orange or bright pink.
Geometry provides order, while spontaneity introduces uncertainty. I am interested in what happens between control and chance—in the visible and the hidden, what remains and what transforms.
