INTRODUCTION

I began painting in 2022, but my admiration for art started in childhood. Over the years,

I traveled through museums, studying paintings up close and developing a deep

appreciation for the brushwork, color, style and emotion.

Rather than learning through formal instruction, I picked up a brush and acrylic paint and began working from memory, trying to mimic the movement, texture, and energy I had observed in the work. What started as curiosity quickly became an obsession.

I was drawn to the physical act of painting — the stroke, the pressure, the layering — and the way emotion could emerge through the process.

Faces became my primary focus. Expressions fascinated me because of their

difficulty and depth — the challenge of capturing

what is felt rather than simply what is seen.
