A daily meditation practice shapes both the sensibility and the precision of my work as a response to the speed and chaos of contemporary life. The repeated act of refining edges, balancing forms, and guiding a composition toward clarity mirrors a meditative return to the present moment, creating a pathway toward a deeper understanding of the self. This rhythm of focus and release becomes embedded in the paintings themselves, serving as a visual record of seeking equilibrium.
Through abstraction, I explore the world’s underlying structures, its symmetry, proportion, and rhythm, as pathways toward balance. Drawing on Jungian theory, I consider how these external patterns echo inner ones, linking nature and consciousness. Archetypes function for me as latent potentials that are activated through the process of painting itself; through making, their psychological content gradually takes shape. At the center of Jung’s philosophy is individuation, the movement toward wholeness, which I experience as a slow integration of intuition and observation. From this union, the canvas becomes a meeting point between inner experience and the outer world, where unconscious forces find expression in the symbolic color and form that ultimately emerge.
Themes of grief, illumination, and cyclical renewal guide the work. I look to nature’s rhythms as echoes of the psyche, where growth and dissolution, holding on and letting go, exist in constant interplay. The paintings become a site of ritual and reflection, a place where awareness deepens and the possibility of transformation opens.
