Profile/CV

Ambitious and motivated artists were her painterly elements become a stand-in for the contemporary human experience. Her abstract paintings which involve a sequence of creation, destruction and new creation reflects her fascination with the fleeting concept of time and how traces left by the cycles of history can confer a sense of-timelessness.To me the non-representational drama that arises when the painterly elements meet and interact on the canvas becomes a stand-in for the contemporary human experience. My abstract paintings which involve a sequence of creation,destruction and new creation reflects my fascination with the fleeting concept of time and how traces left by the cycles of history can confer a sense of-timelessness.During the last decade I have become more interested in non-objective art. These are so many kinds of contemporary painting. In my own case I look at the prospective of abstract shapes colours, process tones and texture to create an expressionist space. Since the beginning of my attendance and studies.As a contemporary painter focusing on non-objective art I distance a lot from the theme its like little bit like searching something new something unexpected comes on! My paintings give you the idea that out of each painting springs a form and patterns that play with colour and perspective suggestive of a depth of space and a fantastical sculpture that is at once intriguing and playful.
