Artist Statement
Artist Statement
In my studio, amidst the lush tranquillity of Ubud, each canvas becomes a celebration of life's vivid emotions. Like me, my art is not confined to the conventional; it revels in bold colors and expressive forms. I see art as a window to the soul, a visual symphony that speaks of joy, sorrow, and the raw beauty of human experience. My creations are for those who seek to find a part of themselves within the canvas, a reflection of their own depth and complexity. In every piece, I strive to capture not just an image, but an emotion, inviting viewers to join in this colorful journey of exploration and connection.

Infinite Tendrils
Infinite Tendrils
2023
Acrylic on Canvas
90x130cm In this arresting piece, the artist presents an unlikely marriage of form—a naked, dark-skinned woman and an octopus. The octopus, symbolic of divine consciousness, invites viewers on an odyssey of boundless knowledge. Its tendrils weave a tale of infinite paths to enlightenment. Contrasting is the woman's form, raw and natural. She stands unbound and liberated, a testament to the beauty of authenticity unmarred by societal constraints. This artwork is a compelling exploration of self-discovery and spiritual transcendence.

Resonance of the Rebirthed Spirit
Resonance of the Rebirthed Spirit

Acrylic on Canvas
46cm x 36,5cmIn the quiet corners of the soul, where change brews with the tender pace of nature's own rhythms, mula emerges. Here, a vessel of my essence reaches into the vastness with limbs outstretched, surrendering to the transformative embrace of self-awareness. Entwining this dance of metamorphosis are the vigilant tendrils of the 'octopus mind', cradling journey in their protective grasp. My ode to the earth, to heritage, and to the unending cycle of rebirth. Mula is not merely viewed; it is experienced, a silent symphony of the human condition's perennial quest for truth and authenticity.
