I describe myself as a "designist" - a hybrid of designer and artist. My creative practice is rooted in design thinking, yet I remain captivated by the abstract, boundless nature of art.
My paintings are simple, graphic, and conceptual, emerging from the interplay of accumulated ideas and emotions inspired by everyday observations. They inhabit a space between logic and the absurd.
If form follows function, then in my work, visuals follow thoughts - each piece is a snapshot of the conversation between logic and imagination.
