What if the most valuable memories are not the big events, but the small moments we never planned to remember? I had just moved into a new place, and a friend helped me move my belongings. After the long day, we discovered a new restaurant and shared a really good meal. What stayed with me was not just the food, but the feeling, the laughter, friendship, satisfaction and joy of beginning a new chapter. I painted this moment because some of the memories we treasure most come from ordinary days.

Artist Statement
My work reflects emotions of curiosity, resilience, vulnerability and strength. After losing hearing in one ear as a child, I became more reliant on visual cues, a perspective that shapes my art today.The figures I paint, with their exaggerated eyes and single ear, represent how I experience the world. They invite deeper connection and remind us that perception is personal and varied. Through form, texture and color, I capture often-overlooked moments, celebrating the beauty of seeing and feeling life in a different way.
