In my latest work, metaphoric objects and figurative elements hover above the landscape in dense air—suspended somewhere between a state of anxiety and serenity, subjectivity and objectivity. Influenced by Goya’s Black paintings, they are meant to be humbling narratives—addressing personal themes of conflict, time, motherhood and middle age.
I think I became an artist when I realized that I could communicate and orchestrate—through images—the intensity of my external perceptions and internal realities.
