My paintings are known for their bright, neon palette and the subtle balance between playful abstraction and emotional intimacy. I use gouache to paint seemingly insignificant scenes from everyday life that feel personal and precious: from still lifes and peaceful moments alone or with friends, to the simple joy of dressing up in bold and expressive clothes. These calm scenes are often interrupted by the appearance of a cat, my personal idol of confidence, adding a touch of humor or quirk while preserving the overall sense of peace.

Blending feminine figures with semi-abstract decor to strike a balance between mature complexity and childlike simplicity. I like combining different gouache techniques: layering dry brush strokes, creating soft gradient washes, and adding thick patches of color to bring a lively texture to what first appears flat. The touch of abstraction often emerges when I try to quiet my overthinking, simplifying everything and focusing on the pure enjoyment of painting, and by extension, enjoyment of life itself.

Ultimately, I create art to celebrate the kind of life I once dreamed of but couldn’t have. As a child, I longed for safety, quiet moments, and the gentle joys of everyday life, like eating a proper meal, wearing new and colorful clothes, or simply feeling like a “normal kid” who didn’t have to worry about surviving the next day.

With no access to that world, I began drawing the girl I wished I could be, creating an inner world where I felt free, joyful, and whole. Through my work, I want to invite viewers to notice the beauty hidden in the mundane and to find joy in the everyday. What may seem like small, mundane moments is sacred to me, and through my art, I hope others can feel that too. Each painting is a way of holding onto these moments, a quiet reminder that happiness is never far, even if it once felt out of reach.
