Overlooked Places

Shaped by a deep connection to art through both personal history and family legacy. Growing up in an environment where multiple generations were engaged in the visual arts, creativity has always been an integral part of my identity. My work focuses on overlooked places and the quiet presence they hold, exploring why these spaces resonate so strongly. I’m interested in how history, patterns, and environments shape perception, and how what is often unnoticed can carry meaning. Influenced by my cultural background and artistic upbringing, I approach painting as a way to understand the relationship between external spaces and internal experience. By examining structure, both bodily and spatial, I explore the connections between emotional, mental, and physical states. I later moved to the United States to study, where encountering new environments and perspectives has expanded my understanding of place, belonging, and the structures that inform my work.
