Works

My artistic work is born from a deep connection with the earth and natural cycles. I explore the organic beauty of the world around us as a form of connection and memory.

I am a polyglot artist, singer, and author whose work merges visual art, language, and music. My practice draws from research, painting, and performance during my travels, allowing cultures and landscapes to shape my artistic language. Irrational Illusionism, the conceptual space I developed, is an interdisciplinary approach merging painting, poetry, singing, and installation. It explores alternative realities where the illogical, the unconscious, and the invisible find expression. My expressive oil paintings oscillate between figuration and abstraction, inviting viewers into multisensory worlds beyond the logically graspable. I explore the organic aesthetics of the world around us — a space for visual storytelling and connection.

About me

As a multimedia artist, I challenge viewers to question reality and invite them to explore subjective experiences within the working and thinking space I call “Irrational Illusionism”.
