Your weakness? Your strength?

"My sensitivity is both a strength and a weakness; it enhances my ability to observe and connect deeply, but it can also cause emotional exhaustion and uncertainty in social situations."

​

What makes you different?

"I find it challenging to define what makes me different because I don’t strive to stand out. However, I believe my unique sense of humor, often paired with cynicism, allows me to approach serious topics from a different perspective, which many people can relate to."

​

When did you decide to become an artist?

"For much of my life, I resisted the idea of being an artist. With my mother working professionally in art and as a teacher, creativity was always present in my childhood, yet my own artistic efforts felt half-hearted. A couple of years ago, I decided to embrace art again—this time without rules or constraints. It became a powerful outlet during challenging times, freeing me on a deep, personal level. I had spent many years working in advertising and media, but at some point, I grew deeply frustrated with my job. Finding this new path has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to explore new forms of expression. There’s also a certain intellectual satisfaction in simplifying complex or critical themes or hiding them within subtle hints. Somehow, something is now present that I had long missed."

​

Do you choose your art form, or does the form choose you?

"I believe it’s a bit of both. I am captivated by simplicity, ease, and effortlessness, which naturally draws me to my current way to work."

​

What do you find most fascinating about the creative process?

"I find the intensity of my emotions while painting truly fascinating. There are moments of great frustration when things don’t go as planned, contrasted with an almost obsessive focus when I lose track of time, forgetting to eat or drink. While I’m not typically impulsive, painting allows that side of me to emerge, and even though my self-doubts can be overwhelming, I strive to see them as opportunities for growth and improvement. But sometimes I also find it relaxing to just paint a motif without a story behind it, such as a vase with flowers or simply funny stuff."
