Artist statement

A personal mythology

"The central theme of my artistic work is the manifestation of the illusory nature of the surrounding world. As a multimedia artist, I employ various genres and materials to convey the fluidity and ambiguity of our existence. In my paintings and graphics, I construct my own mythology that reflects my perspectives, aesthetics, and personal experiences. I invite observers into a dialogue about their place in the world, and how we perceive the reality around us. As the allegory of Plato's cave teaches us, true happiness can only be achieved through the dispelling of illusions."
