Artist Statement

Art is so tightly tied to my life that I don't see them as separate. Creative hobbies are such a powerful tool for better understanding aspects of yourself and practising uncensored, raw expression. I hope that through sharing my experiences, people who relate to my work can feel less alone. My work openly reflects my life experiences, day-to-day questions and challenges. In this, they become a window for others to look into and learn about themselves. Even when exploring more personal topics, I aim to inspire a sense of curiosity and wonder through my art. I love to take difficult emotions and create something beautiful from them. I believe there is something amazing in that.
