Artist Introduction
Artist Statement
Art, for me, is storytelling. It is a dialogue between the seen and the unseen, a way to translate life experiences, dreams, and questions into visual form. My work often shifts between the realistic and the abstract, the personal and the symbolic. In ‘The Hyenas’ series, I explored resilience, survival, and mystery through the striped hyena, a creature both misunderstood and powerful. In other works, I experiment with abstract compositions, landscapes, and cultural motifs, all seeking to bridge tradition and imagination.
