Through Sensed But Never Named
2025

There’s a quiet wonder in uncovering forms and symbols that emerge from pure color. I never begin with a fixed image—only a feeling, shaped by whatever I’m carrying that day: joy, sorrow, or something unnamed. The process is improvised, and my palette shifts with me, reflecting the ebb and flow of emotion. When a piece is complete, I become its first audience. Painting is a way to speak with my inner world—to explore and express the layered dimensions of my own existence. Each work becomes a narrative of that exchange, connecting what’s felt within to something that can live outside of me. This introspective experience is central to my practice. As an experimental artist, I remain open to any material or technique that serves the work. I refuse to confine myself to specific mediums or subject matter. Early in my career, I came to realize how self-censorship—especially in a country where art is subject to repressive control—could quietly limit artistic freedom. That recognition was both painful and clarifying, and it continues to shape my approach: to create without fear, and to remain attuned to the possibilities within each moment of making.
