I am a collage artist with a background in fine arts, driven by a fascination with fragments—the shreds and scraps of life that hold untold stories. My work blends traditional techniques with experimental approaches, exploring the interplay between destruction and creation. Through collage, I reassemble textures, materials, and ideas into visual narratives that reveal hidden connections.
I let myself to be taken by the essence of these images, not always knowing where it would lead me.
I allow myself to be guided by the work
which is in the process of being born,
I have confidence in it, I do not think about it.
The forms arrive pleasant, or strange, hostile, inexplicable, mute, or drowsy.
They are born from themselves.
It seems to me as if all I do is move my hands.
