I transform lived journeys into luminous emotional landscapes where memory, light, and perception converge.
???? ARTIST STATEMENT
My artistic practice explores landscape as emotional perception rather than representation. Working from my own travel photography, I transform lived experiences into luminous inner geographies where memory, light, and emotion converge.
Rooted in a contemporary post-impressionist sensibility, my paintings evoke nature as a living presence rather than a fixed image. Sea, sky, mountains, and light become vessels of resonance and transformation.
Alongside my artistic work, I am a cardiologist. This dual perspective shapes a heightened sensitivity to fragility, time, and the invisible rhythms of life, which deeply informs my visual language.
???? ARTISTIC APPROACH
My work emerges from travel, observation, and memory. Each painting begins with photography and is gradually transformed into an emotional landscape where external reality dissolves into inner perception.
