About Me

Through painting, illustration, and urban sketching, I explore the overlooked infrastructure of daily life - the rusting staircases, aging walls, and tangled overhead wires that hold our shared environments together even as they quietly fall apart.

In a fast-paced, technology-driven world where human intimacy and awareness are gradually fading, I am drawn to the subtle moods of streets, architecture, and human presence. My work seeks to make visible the quiet narratives embedded in ordinary, deteriorating spaces — the textures, rhythms, and traces of labor that often go unnoticed but ultimately define the places we inhabit together.

Working primarily with charcoal, ink, and watercolor on paper, I begin on-site, responding instinctively to the spirit of each place. Layers of pen-and-ink lines, combined with sepia-toned and transparent washes, build structure and atmosphere, highlighting age, texture, and the slow, inevitable wear of surfaces and materials. Occasionally, that quiet observation tips into something more charged — a figure in the distance, a sky under pressure, an object that carries more weight than its surroundings suggest.

Through my practice, I invite viewers to slow down, rediscover their surroundings, and reconnect with the emotional resonance of everyday life.

Art for me is a form of meditation — a quiet, attentive conversation with the self, with the spaces we inhabit, and with the often-invisible labor that keeps them standing.
