The Art

Since relocating to London, my work has undergone a meaningful evolution. Immersing myself in the city—its intricate patterns, lush gardens, and the deep connections formed through new friendships—I have begun to explore themes of impermanence and memory through abstraction and symbolism.

In my recent paintings of flowers serves as a visual representation of the rhythm of city life, while the use of gold leaf reflecting the richness and beauty that surround us. At the heart of each work, flowers emerge as enduring symbols of life, love, and friendship. These blooms, inspired by relationships that touch our lives and sometimes depart, are painted to preserve a moment in time. They will never fade, never leave; they remain as eternal reminders held in the heart.

This is a new and ongoing series, and additional works will be released soon.
