From the Artist

I create fantastical paintings that explore loss, longing, and the wish to feel grounded. There, There is inspired by the new craft I picked up during the pandemic - sewing. In the painting, a cute and puffy cloud, rendered in Trompe ‘l’oeil style, offers consolation to a “real” cloud, which seems sad. Two clouds exist in the same picture plane, under the same sky, yet they seem to belong to different worlds. Each world offers a certain degree of reality. I am interested in the relationship between these worlds and how they generate a sense of humor and possibilities for dialogue when they collide.

In my work, I often use the sky as a backdrop to create a dream-like environment. I try to remember and reconnect with the mindset of painting as a child. I always think of the sky as a refuge for the mind. It contains hopes, dreams, and memories. Floating in the middle of the sky, the images and objects in my paintings become a portal to tenderness.
