I am an artist and researcher whose practice explores creativity, perception, and the psychological dimensions of experience. With a PhD in experimental psychology focused on creativity and sensory perception, my work bridges scientific inquiry with artistic expression, investigating how inner worlds, symbolic forms, and sensory processes shape the act of creation.

My background as a leader in insights & innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration informs my artistic approach: I draw on methods from behavioral science, design, and sensory research to create works that act as thresholds; spaces where structure and intuition, order and eruption, converge. Texture, symbolism, and layered compositions become tools for mapping the dialogue between the intimate and the infinite.

Passionate about sustainable creation and the intersections of science and art, I see painting as both experiment and offering: a process of holding complexity, integrating opposites, and transforming fragments into new forms of wholeness.
