Portfolio of Works

My watercolors reflect my deep reverence and awe for the mysteries of Mother Nature. Through my work, I strive to enhance beauty, curiosity, and care in our world—a desire that has fueled my lifelong career as an artist. Over the years, I have explored various creative paths, from Ceramics to Modern Dance, Fine Art Photography, Graphic Design, and most recently, Watercolor.

 

My journey into watercolor began in 2019, following a decade of personal and financial challenges. Watercolor, a medium I had long been drawn to, offered both a challenge and a new beginning. What captivates me most about watercolor is its spontaneity, and unpredictability. Unlike other media, where you control the outcome, watercolor flows with its own rhythm, much like a dancer spontaneously flowing with the music. The pigment and water move freely, forming a partnership that invites surrender and patience. I don’t seek to control the process but rather to respond to it, allowing the magic to unfold naturally on the page.

 

For me, watercolor is a spiritual practice as much as an artistic one. The medium’s transparency, luminosity, and fluidity mirror the delicate balance of life—where surrender and careful control coexist. Each painting is an exploration of this balance, an attempt to capture the elusive qualities of the natural world that I hold so dear.​ In every piece, I aim to evoke not just what I see but what I feel—a reflection of the transcendent magic I experience when immersed in nature. By embracing the unpredictability of watercolor, I invite viewers to interpret the work freely, to connect with the mystery and beauty that surrounds us all.
