Painting, for me, is an exploration of light, movement, and the fleeting essence of a moment. Inspired by the expressive brushwork of John Singer Sargent and the evocative atmosphere of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, I seek to capture the energy of life through rich textures and dynamic compositions.
Working in both oil and acrylic, I embrace the spontaneity of the Impressionist tradition—allowing color and gesture to shape my subjects, whether they are figures in motion, intimate portraits, or vibrant urban scenes. My work is not about rigid realism but rather the emotion and rhythm found in everyday moments. Each brushstroke is an attempt to translate light into feeling, to preserve the ephemeral in a way that lingers on the canvas.
Through my art, I invite viewers to step into these captured instants, to experience the world not as it is, but as it feels in a passing glance—a blur of color, a shimmer of light, a story unfolding in paint.
