My work explores the intersection of landscape, geology, and organic systems through abstraction and figuration. Inspired by erosion, mineral formations, coral structures, botanical forms, and topographical visual language, I create layered compositions that blur the boundary between the familiar and the imagined, and between what is visible and what lies beneath.

Within these abstract landscapes, fragments of systems, flowers, and memory emerge, dissolve, and reconnect. My paintings are informed by an enduring curiosity about the natural world—not only its beauty, but also the systems and processes that shape it. These natural phenomena become a visual vocabulary through which I investigate ideas of growth, resilience, interconnectedness, and continual change.

The painting process mirrors these cycles of transformation. Layers are built, concealed, and revealed through an intuitive dialogue between deliberate composition and spontaneous mark-making.

Ultimately, my practice is an exploration of how we perceive and feel nature beyond its surface. It considers the hidden structures, histories, memories, and relationships that connect living organisms, ecosystems, and, ultimately, ourselves.
