I paint to reclaim agency over time, tools, and the physical world. Yet, my work remains in continuous dialogue with the virtual realm. Rooted in a deep interest in the psychology of the gaze and the silent narratives embedded in facial expressions, my portraits serve as both intimate studies and conceptual investigations into modes of representation. Each piece seeks to reflect the tensions embedded in today’s human experience — shaped by digital culture, emotional complexity, and fragmented realities. At times playful, at times unsettling, my paintings are grounded in a visual language of repetition, drawing from orthodox iconography and the aesthetics of advertising. Through this grammar, I explore the multiplicity and contradictions that define contemporary subjectivity.
