ARTIST STATEMENT
Invisibility is a profound theme in my art, reflecting the unseen and overlooked aspects of human experience. My work delves into this concept, inviting viewers to discover subtle imagery buried within the layers. These hidden elements require close inspection, mirroring how unnoticed stories and contributions exist in society. Each piece is crafted with meticulous detail, using texture, shades, and patterns to create visual metaphors for invisibility. This nuanced approach encourages viewers to engage deeply, to pause, and to uncover the intricate beauty that lies beneath the surface. It is a call to see beyond the obvious and to appreciate the richness in the hidden and the subtle. Through this process, I aim to transform invisibility into visibility, celebrating the unseen and giving voice to the silent. My art becomes a journey of discovery, fostering a connection between the viewer and the often-overlooked aspects of our world.
