who am i
I am a self-taught artist and an eternal student. I explore pigments and textures through different kinds of paper, working mainly with black ink, gouache, and acrylic. The dialogue between analog and digital processes opens new territories for me, as does the magic of documenting my work through video and animation.
creative process
My work grows out of a stain.I create using a technique that unfolds in reverse: I don’t plan a composition. Instead, I let the pigment dictate the direction, believing that every line is a living organism. I bring it into being, but I don’t define its movement - I follow it. This method emerged intuitively through encounters with loss. Personal grief evolved into a daily practice of mourning. I began observing death as if it were something alive and breathing - a paradox that led me back to the stain. What begins as a lifeless mark on paper slowly reveals figures, faces, and sometimes strange creatures. I draw lines out of the stain until an image appears - one that carries a human and universal story of grief, loss, and love. My creative process is rooted in trial, error, and exploration.
the research
As part of my ongoing personal research around death, life and grief - I created the podcast OPEN END (available on all streaming platforms), and the Instagram page THE OPEN, which currently serves as a digital space for open conversation about death, grief, and mourning. I hope it will one day grow into a physical space — a place where people can come to mourn freely, each in their own way.
