A dinner plate of dice!

Rooted in dreams and personal experience, my paintings explore the boundary between the seen and unseen. Animals, figures, and fantastical aspects often inhabit my work, serving as guides through emotional landscapes of hope, love, longing, and courage. I am drawn to moments where the real and the magical converge—where an inner truth can take visible form. Through painting, I seek to create spaces of wonder, inviting viewers to encounter both the mystery of the world and the magic that binds all living things.
