And a brief summary of my current artistic process

As a painter, my work is deeply rooted in the exploration of visual collage and the reinterpretation of existing imagery. I view the act of painting as a dynamic process of discovery, where every layer, texture, and color choice is a step toward understanding the work as a whole. By juxtaposing thousands of intersections—whether they are visual, conceptual, or historical—I seek to create a space where the past and present collide, where the familiar becomes strange, and the unknown reveals itself.
