Artist Statement:
"Art is a part of life and the rainbow of my existence!
Creation is a lifelong pursuit. Nourished by life experiences, I listen to the voice within and create only what resonates with me. Art creation is my spiritual refuge, enriching the landscape of my life. I continue on this path with unwavering hope.
Growing up surrounded by galleries, I accompanied my mother to art fairs from a young age. Unable to stay home alone, I visited these venues annually, starting from kindergarten. I was the youngest spectator, often visiting studios of painters and potters with my mother. During holidays, I joined her at the gallery, as I have no siblings. Fortunately, I found solace in painting and pottery. Art has been my constant companion, from studying art in secondary school and university to exploring museums abroad. I adore small animals, especially cats, and draw inspiration from my beloved pet 'Little Mimi' for my creations. True passion from within fuels my creativity, leading to authentic expression in my work."
