As an interdisciplinary artist, the mixed-media in my works is heavily connected to the notion of energy transition. I use copper, brass, and bronze since they are characterised by their reddish tint. To amplify my artistic expression, I scratch, burn, erase, and overwrite the colors with sulfur, asphalt, and acrylic paint.

The pandemic has allowed me to pause, understand, explore, and express myself even deeper. I have been experimenting with materials, especially for printmaking and sound installation. Art should expose our senses to diverse mediums and explore a broad range of emotions.

I will have my second solo exhibition in August. I want to capture the psychological state of the current situation with a sense of deep personal contemplation, highlighting digital disruption and transition to the new normal. However, the artworks still revolve around harmony between realities, the theme to which I keep returning.
