Artist Statement
In my art, I explore sensuality and the joy of the moment, embodying the transformation and evolution of the human experience. My work responds to societal pressures of beauty standards and delves into social taboos through the lens of time and the changing human body. I blend traditional painting techniques with collages made from second-hand clothing and performance art to create pieces that reflect the fluidity of life and celebrate the unconventional beauty of each moment.
Performance art serves as a powerful tool for personal transformation and profound communication with viewers. Through live interaction, I seek to explore emotional and philosophical aspects of human existence, creating a space where audiences can experience and reflect on the same themes I address in my work. My practice spans from traditional techniques to experimental forms, such as soft fabric hybrid objects, to convey the full spectrum of sensual and joyful experiences of life, and to demonstrate how art can be a medium for both personal and collective transformation.
