My practice is a multidisciplinary exploration of identity, memory, and myth. Drawing inspiration from the Baroque, Neogothic, and Romantic eras, I create immersive works that span painting, sculpture, textile, sound, and experimental film. Across these mediums, I explore the fragmented self through chiaroscuro, layered textures, and emotionally charged contrasts.

Rooted in the earthy palettes of 14th-century Italian oil traditions, my visual work grounds the intangible—while elements like fabric, clay, and ambient sound breathe life into unseen forces. Through gentle rituals of making, I construct symbolic worlds that ask: What lives in the spaces between perception and truth? Each work becomes a meditation—inviting the viewer into a threshold space where mysticism, embodiment, and personal mythology unfold.

At its core, my practice seeks to reclaim emotion and intuition as sacred technologies of expression and connection.
“Whenever two people meet, there are really six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as the other person sees him, and each man as he really is.” William James
