Time is the framework for my drawing and painting practice. In working with the figure, I seek to capture both a moment and the internal landscape of the sitter. Daily drawing sessions function as a meditation—repetition that sharpens vision, timing, and the choices I make with color, line, positive and negative space, and other principles of art-making.

Between looking and seeing, there is a fleeting gap: a split second where an image imprints itself on my mind before I translate it to canvas. This gap, described in Buddhism as a place of stillness and equilibrium, is central to my work. It is a space beyond words or thought—just presence.

Roses are also a recurring motif in my practice. For me, they serve as a metaphor for the human spirit. Through the use of multiple roses and mirrors, I explore light, reflection, and metaphor, creating spaces that attempt to hold and extend a moment.

Ultimately, my work is an inquiry into memory, perception, and the impossibility of holding on. To capture the fleeting is like trying to grasp smoke before it disappears into a black hole.
