Artist Statement

My Practice explores loneliness. I am interested in how it affects our private life and how we perceive, react, and digest it. Desire, vulnerability, alienation, and fetishism are topics that arise when examining this argument. 

​

Inspired by memories, literature, and films, I found myself addicted to depicting ordinary scenes and seemingly mundane daily details in private life, capturing the oddness, disturbing, or even frightening realities underlying them.

​

On my flat surfaces, I am interested in mixing oil paint with solvent. There is something about the combination of these two materials together, that creates opacity and ambiguous poetry in my paintings, giving space for the viewers to get their own interpretation.

​

All the private sceneries, piling up, can be seen as a microcosm, catching a glimpse of the unease and alienation of the postmodern world and the human quest for self-identity and a sense of belonging.
