Artist Statement –

My art is born from an inner movement. between memory and imagination, between a delicate line and raw emotion.
I create by listening to the material, the light, to the color, and to what wishes to surface from within.

My work shifts between figuration and abstraction, between visibility and experience.
I use a variety of materials like acrylic, watercolor, pastel, and charcoal. seeking the moment where form and texture capture an emotional pulse or an unspoken truth.

Inspiration comes through encounter. with the wild Galilean landscape, with feminine and maternal worlds, with silent texts and inner stillness.
Each painting is a threshold, not only into a place within myself, but into the possibility that the viewer might meet themselves through the act of looking.

My work does not offer answers, but opens questions.
Quiet, spacious questions that may awaken a memory, a recognition, or a new ray of light.

Because within each of us – there is always light. And color.
