My work is driven by the quest to find and depict hidden stories of complex characters. I’m particularly drawn to the stories of women and non-binary people which have been overlooked or distorted by historical bias. Their visions lure me. Through them, I form blue-colored mission statements to face present-day challenges and inequalities. I do not necessarily use the color blue for its symbolism – it appears less clear but blue always points to the most valued. To me, the spirit and attitude of the characters in my portraits is bound to this shade. Like their stories, the color recedes from us and draws us after it.
