In early 2024, I left my consulting career to devote myself fully to painting. My work is rooted in figurative imagery and expressive brushstrokes. Through my paintings, I explore the tension between a rapidly changing world and the search for focus, mindfulness, and inner peace. The work reflects internal conflict shaped by a world that can feel confining. I question existence, control, and survival, while recognizing the beauty in how I see life, learn, and live—with awareness, intention, and purpose.
