Baby goat

Artist Statement

In my artistic practice, I delve into the interplay between beauty and unease, drawing inspiration from nature, idyllic daily life scenes, and religious motifs. My work is a vibrant tapestry of color and form, where cheerful imagery like goats, lambs, moths, and female figures initially invites joy and warmth. However, as viewers engage more deeply with the pieces, they often encounter an unsettling undercurrent that evokes a sense of disquiet. This duality reflects my exploration of femininity in a world often presenting conflicting narratives about women’s roles and identities. The colorful surfaces of my paintings serve as a façade for deeper truths, they challenge the viewer to confront the complexities of existence and the societal expectations placed upon women. Just as nature can be both nurturing and harsh, so can the feminine experience embody contradictions: strength intertwined with vulnerability, beauty shadowed by discomfort.
