My artistic practice explores inner authority, identity, and relational archetypes through symbolic portraiture and figurative compositions.
I work in series, allowing ideas to unfold through long-term research and visual development.
Inner Axis, 2025
Acrylic on canvas, 30 × 40 in
(Self-worth / inner axis)
A geometric portrait focused on the idea of inherent self-worth. The fragmented structure suggests external pressures and imposed identities, while the calm, closed gaze reflects inner stability. Gold emphasizes value that exists independently of recognition or approval.
The “Lions” series examines relationship dynamics through archetypal symbolism.
The lion and lioness function as metaphors for power, distance, partnership, dominance, and equality.
Rather than illustrating specific narratives, the works explore how individuals relate to one another without losing their own identity.
Daughters of the Earth” is a painting-based project exploring feminine identity through the metaphor of the body as landscape.
The series addresses themes of roots, memory, transformation, and resilience, reflecting how personal and collective histories shape inner worlds.
This project serves as an ongoing conceptual framework for grant applications and institutional contexts.
