Memory is a shapeshifter. It is selective, fluid, fragmented, and temporal, warping time and carrying emotions from the past, the fleeting presence of the now, and the uncertainty of the future. My work exists in a liminal space where time is cyclical rather than linear. Through narrative oil paintings, I explore the phenomenology of time, memory, and spirituality, using the canvas as a portal into unseen realms that shape identity and connection. My vivid color palettes, layered compositions, and personal narratives guide viewers beyond a sequential timeline.

Inspired by meditation, yoga, and tarot, my process mirrors a meditative approach. Using personal and familial history as source material, I manipulate old photographs to introduce symbolic elements and reconstruct color and composition. My wet-on-wet technique captures both physical likeness and spiritual essence, balancing figuration and abstraction and reflecting dualities such as presence and absence, life and death, and movement and stillness. Painting becomes a dialogue with impermanence, honoring lost loved ones while embracing the essence of those still present in my life today.
