As a painter and trained musician, my work translates the rhythms of nature into visual symphonies, where color, texture, and form echo sound and movement. Inspired by water, stone, and sound, I explore the deep harmony between 

earthly elements and their unseen energies.

Using knife painting, layered textures, and water-based techniques, I create immersive compositions that invite the viewer to experience art as sound and sound as art. Each painting unfolds like a melody—a silent rhythm that resonates with the soul.

My creative process is deeply intuitive and rooted in emotion. I begin each painting with a meditative connection to sound—often classical music or natural ambience—which guides my rhythm and palette. I use a variety of acrylic techniques to create layered, translucent effects, manipulating water and texture to build emotional depth. Sometimes I paint with knives, at other times with brushes or unconventional tools—each mark reflecting an impulse, a memory, or a feeling. I work in silence or with sound, letting the canvas evolve naturally, allowing the work to reveal its own language over time
