Artist Statement

Painting portraits of women from diverse backgrounds is a celebration of their strength, individuality, and the captivating stories told through their gaze. In these portraits, I strive to capture not just their external beauty, but a glimmer of their brilliance, the inner strength that unites them in the face of life's many challenges, creating a vivid array of the toughness and individuality that defines womanhood across the world. Through my work, I aim to empower women and reflect the empowerment they have given me.

As a painter, my journey has been an exploration of the connection between brushwork, color, pattern, and emotion. My paintings serve as a medium through which I translate my perceptions into visual expressions that resonate with viewers on a personal level. I want to enrich the legacy of portraiture by infusing vitality into the remarkable women I portray. Guided by the belief that colors can evoke emotions, I immerse myself in the world of pigments, pattern, and textures to add visual energy to my subjects.
