Artist's Statement

For me, art is a form of therapy that enables me to connect with my inner self. Through art, I am reminded of the innocence and naivety that I possessed as a child, and it allows me to relive the joy that I experienced during my younger years. Folk art heavily influences my artistic expression, I am always in awe of the ability of artisans to create beauty from basic elements and materials. My artwork is playful and colorful, and I use multimedia to share surreal abstractions of my feelings, experiences, and impressions. Transforming my ideas into something tangible feels like magic; I incorporate a variety of materials to bring out the sparkle that makes me happy. With my pieces, I aim to create interest not only in my art but also in the cultures and stories behind each artwork. My hope is to inspire others to appreciate the beauty and significance of different cultures and experiences.
