Abstract

“In my practice of ‘paintaglio,’ I blend the tactile with the visual, creating a dialogue between sculptural form and painted expression. Using carved wooden panels, I delve into the depth and texture of human emotion, encouraging an interaction that transcends the physical into the ephemeral. Central to my work is a dedication to humaitarianism and sentiment, where each piece serves as a narrative vessel, capturing the nuanced complexity of human experiences with empathy. My art layers paint over intricate carvings to explore and convey these stories.”
