Description

“My work pursues a productive tension between fidelity and metaphor. I aim to render the human body with uncompromising realism wet skin, glistening water, poised musculature so that viewers encounter an immediate, almost tactile intimacy that then opens onto larger questions of identity, endurance and public life. Water recurs as a formal and symbolic element: as mirror, veil and agent of transformation. In recent projects the body is treated as palimpsest tattooed surfaces and applied ornament become narrative fields where private histories intersect with shared cultural memory. For me, the hyperreal is not illusion but revelation: a means to reveal interior life and social possibility through meticulous craft and sustained empathy”.
