In my process, chance is not just a technique but an essential part of creation. It opens a dialogue between intuition and unpredictability, between conscious choice and spontaneous response. My work moves between control and surrender, responding to what unfolds on the canvas.

I often use worn or unconventional tools whose irregularities create marks beyond my direct control. In wet-on-wet techniques, pigments move unpredictably, dissolving or gathering in unexpected ways. What appears random carries meaning, shaped by something instinctual that resists full control.

Within this openness, I make deliberate decisions: simplifying, reducing, placing lines and areas of focus, creating tension and balance. These choices hold the work, allowing structure and unpredictability to coexist.

Through painting, I respond to the subtle undercurrents of life not through clear messages, but through gesture, layering, and interruption. I am drawn less to the beautiful than to what is raw, hidden, and unresolved. Each canvas is an exploration, guided by intuition and experience, until the work settles on its own terms.
