My artistic practice centers on the exploration of human portraits through abstract and surrealist approaches. I am deeply interested in the emotional and psychological layers of the human experience, which I express by reimagining facial features and figures in unconventional, often fragmented forms. Working primarily with mixed media, I am drawn to the freedom and complexity it allows. By combining materials and techniques, I seek to create dynamic compositions that evoke curiosity and emotional depth. My work is influenced by the bold innovation of Pablo Picasso and the dreamlike symbolism of Salvador Dalí—both of whom inspire me to challenge perception and push beyond traditional representations. I aim to create work that is open to interpretation, allowing each viewer to engage with it through their own emotions, memories, and inner narratives. Looking ahead, I am committed to deepening my artistic exploration, continually experimenting and evolving both conceptually and materially
