My work consists of figurative oil paintings that explore womanhood within domestic interiors. The figures often hover between action and repose, occupying moments of stillness where time slows and attention turns inward.
Material process is central to my practice. I build each painting gradually through thin layers of oil, allowing light, surface, and color to accumulate over time. Repetition becomes a form of ritual as I integrate patterns and architectural details. This process is guided by a sense of spiritual devotion and by the belief that meaning develops through patience and close observation.
