ARTIST STATEMENT
My artwork is a celebration and homage to the rich culture, resilience, and beauty of the community. Inspired by the strength and creativity that emanates from different individuals, I seek to capture their essence through my artistic expression. Through vibrant colors, bold brushstrokes, and intricate details, I aim to convey the diverse stories and experiences of people.
By shining a spotlight on the unique perspectives (especially of women), I hope to challenge societal norms and foster conversations about equality, justice, and representation. Through my art, I strive to create a platform for dialogue and understanding, allowing viewers to connect with untold stories and experiences.
My artistic process involves immersing myself in the culture (including my experiences from childhood) such as engaging with music, literature, history, and simply talking with individuals. I draw inspiration from the resilience and creativity that have emerged from adversity, channeling these emotions onto the canvas. I hope that my creations inspire viewers to embrace diversity.
