Story behind "You and Me in Paradise"
My mother once shared a peculiar conversation that took place between two of her sisters during a family gathering.
Both of them dreamed of a beautiful garden with a grand golden gate. After they passed away, I like to imagine that they are together in that enchanting garden, enjoying its serenity.

Floral Collections
Redemption Collection
Forgiveness is a liberating and transformative act of self-care.
In this series of paintings, I aimed to explore the profound human emotion of love through the metaphor of flowering.
Just as flowers flourish after enduring harsh seasons, we too can emerge from pain and betrayal. It is through the act of forgiveness that we allow ourselves to blossom and invite peace into our lives.
Rhapsody Collection
This collection pays tribute to the resilience that enables us to overcome challenges throughout the various seasons of our lives.
It reflects the cycle of life, the renewal that each season brings, and the unwavering strength we possess to navigate difficulties.
Rejoyce Collection
Unapologetic shapes and vibrant colours characterize this series of expressive floral paintings, all intended to evoke joy. This series draws inspiration from cherished memories and the feelings they bring forth during happy times.
Penumbra Collection
Beauty can be found even through the darkest times.
I was inspired to create this small series of paintings to invite the viewer to see the silver lining in every challenging moment and to find the opportunity to keep a grateful heart.
Iris Collection
"Behold the Iris, standing tall and proud"
Flowers do not need to explain their existence or question themselves; they celebrate who they are and how they look.
These single Iris flowers express the individuality of each of us, both within and without.
Landscape Collection
The landscapes reflects my profound connection to nature. Created in my studio from memory and emotion, these works emerge from hours spent observing the subtle changes in colour throughout the day, feeling the wind and inhaling the sweet scent of earth after the rain. They offer a genuine feast of the senses with their colours and textures, making you wish you were there.
