My work explores the connection between the women of my upbringing and myself’s evaluation. Growing up to all their stories, beliefs and insecurities impacted my personal journey as a little girl and still is until this day. While painting I dig deeper into my own emotions, explore my inner thoughts and express my authentic self without external influence. Being an artist is not merely a career or a job; it is a profound and continuous journey of self-expression, growth, and exploration. As an artist, my artistic journey has evolved and transformed over time, shaping me both personally and creatively.

Each artwork becomes a reflection of my inner world, capturing the essence of my emotions and thoughts at that particular moment in my life. It’s characterized by continuous exploration and experimentation. It involves stepping out of my comfort zone, taking risks, and pushing the boundaries of creativity. Ultimately, the journey of an artist is a lifelong commitment to self-expression, growth, and the pursuit of artistic excellence. It is a constant evolution that transcends any single artwork or moment. As I continue along this journey, I am reminded of the transformative power of art and its ability to shape not only my artistic practice but also my perception of the world and my place within it.
