Artist Statement

My artistic creation is imbued with the essence of the ocean, which serves as a perennial source of inspiration for me. The medium employed is handmade paper.
I draw upon the ocean’s multifaceted character, wherein it imparts life lessons, emanates powerful energy, and exudes a mesmerizing aura that captivates the senses. The ocean’s duality, wherein it alternates between a placid calm and tumultuous turbulence, serves as a profound metaphor for the human experience.


In my work, I seek to encapsulate the ocean’s vastness, depth, and imposing grandeur, which is further accentuated by the hue of blue that holds a special significance for me.
Through my art, I endeavor to evoke a sense of wonder and awe in the viewer, while also inviting introspection and reflection on the enigmatic nature of the ocean and its subtle yet profound influence on the human psyche.
