ABOUT MY PAINTING

​

“Last Call at Monte Carlo" invites the viewer into a suspended moment: a liminal space where the bartender's gaze drifts, between the clink of glasses and the hush of closing time. Experimental, selective layers of oil paint, charcoal, and marker obscure details and blur reflections, hinting at whispered stories and forgotten secrets. 

 

My expressive paintings delve into the transitory nature of memory and its impact on identity, revealing the human condition's raw edges, from the mundane to the complex. From small to large-scale layered paintings, I strive to create emotional resonance, examining the echoes of personal and shared stories through universal themes. 

 

My work holds personal significance, with the hope to evoke an intimate, emotional connection that lingers, like the “last call” of a fluid memory.
