Through immigration, multiculturalism, traveling and rediscovering my own roots, my paintings have evolved into fragile scenarious -A fact that I am bilingual influenced my way of thinking. Being surrounded by a foreign language my creative process is often a search, a feeling of an absurd tragedy of human life and society. I do not apply ideas to my work, but rather allow practice, images or final work itself, test theories. I am a wonderer. My art explores the world through a mixture of autobiography, symbolism and philosophy.
