Artist Statement
My paintings explore how our internal programming—shaped by genetics and memories—affects the way we perceive the world. My layered compositions merge two
realities through symmetrical, rippling lines. I begin by painting on paper, which I then cut and reassemble multiple times to create a pixelated mosaic. After masking out the symmetrical lines, I paint the representational imagery and then finally sand the surface. The pixelated mosaic symbolizes our internal narratives, while the representational imagery reflects the external world. The interplay of colors and textures between these
layers illustrates how perception and personal history continuously shift and blend over time. Through these layered compositions, I invite viewers to reflect on the dynamic
relationship between their own internal stories and the external world they encounter daily.
