My work explores the intersection between the natural world and human perception. I paint animals and natural landscapes with a foundation in realism, capturing their detail, presence, and spirit — but I deliberately introduce abstract elements to reflect the complexity, mystery, and interconnectedness of the world we inhabit.

Through this balance of realism and abstraction, I aim to go beyond simple representation. The animals I paint are not just subjects; they are storytellers, symbols, and witnesses to our changing environment. The abstract layers — whether through color, form, or texture — invite viewers to see beyond the surface, to consider what lies unseen: emotion, memory, or ecological tension.

Nature is both a sanctuary and a mirror. In my work, I hope to inspire reflection, reverence, and a deeper awareness of the fragile beauty that surrounds us.
