MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST
I am a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, fashion / jewelry design, and narrative. I have painted throughout my life, alongside a career in brand storytelling and creative direction. That dual practice has given me decades of experience in observation, composition, and the shaping of emotional meaning.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST
My paintings—often still lifes and landscapes that shift toward portraiture—are intuitive and contemplative, revealing traces of presence that go beyond appearance. My custom-made jewelry pieces are crafted to hold personal meaning and are often designed through close collaboration with the wearer. I also create commissioned artworks, developing each with a deep attention to the subject’s essence.
I believe the role of art is not to reflect the outward appearance of things, but to reveal what lies beneath.
