Artist Statement

My practice unfolds at the intersection of mosaic and painting, where gesture and material act as equal carriers of meaning. The tessera becomes a petrified brushstroke - a fragment of movement embedded in matter, shaping the surface through rhythm, direction and energy.
The works emerge as hybrid forms that move beyond the traditional boundaries of painting, sculpture and mosaic. Through layered reliefs of color, cement and light, each stratum introduces a new gesture, texture and spatial tension, allowing time and perception to crystallize within the work.
