about
/
she is a painter, despite believing for years that she could become someone else, but painting proved to be the one thing that stayed. and she also write something.

she began drawing at the age of six, using simple lines as her primary mode of expression. Her early reliance on simplified marks and symbolic forms has gradually developed into an exploration of psychological space, fragmented memories, and everyday scenes. Moving fluidly between figuration and abstraction, her work employs flattened spatial structures, repeated gestural brush marks, and muted, faded tones (occasionally bright) to build a visual language situate between lived experience and internal narrative.
