Artist Statement

My work is a celebration of quiet strength, identity, and cultural heritage, capturing the complex emotions born from the human experience within my socio-cultural landscape. Through my art, I explore the depth of introspection—the still moments where resilience is nurtured, memories and history converge to shape identity, and heritage becomes a source of strength.

My primary language is fire. Wielding flames and razorblades as my tools of revelation, I developed a technique I call Pyro-Fusion. Through it, I bring together the raw heat of pyrography with the coolness of acrylics. But this fusion extends beyond materials; it is a conceptual contrast at the heart of my work—the dialogue between hyperrealistic, deeply rendered skin and ephemeral, sketch-like elements. This tension between the permanent and the fleeting allows me to sculpt not just figures, but the very essence of their stories onto the canvas.

I am drawn to the intimate, often unseen moments that define our lives. The subjects I render become mirrors, reflecting not only their own narratives but also my own journey—our shared strengths, vulnerabilities, and the silent emotions that underpin our existence.

Ultimately, my art is a vehicle for storytelling. It invites the viewer to pause and reflect on the quiet moments that define us, to find strength in the intricate layers of identity, and to celebrate the extraordinary beauty nestled within our shared human experience. It is my hope to create work that bridges heritage with modernity, honoring the resilience of the past while contributing to the narratives we are still creating.
