My practice explores resilience, identity, and transformation through painting and mixed media. I construct psychological landscapes where human figures, animals, and emotional states exist within the same space, reflecting how inner experience is formed and perceived.
A central concept in my work is Leonoir—a fusion of the lion and black. The lion represents endurance, awareness, and survival under pressure. Black is not background but a space of memory, uncertainty, and change. Together, they form a way for me to understand emotional reality.
In this system, lion figures and female figures are not separate subjects. They are two expressions of the same inner condition. The lion carries instinct and tension, while the female figure reflects introspection, fragmentation, and rebuilding of the self. Their relationship creates a quiet shift between instinct and consciousness.
Black is essential to my work. It is not absence, but the ground where images and emotions emerge. Darkness allows form to appear rather than erase it.
Through monochrome tones, layered surfaces, and symbolic reduction, I translate internal experience into visual form. These works are not depictions of external scenes, but inner landscapes shaped by memory and emotion.
My work is grounded in a simple belief: resilience is not something I describe—it is something I live through in the act of making.
