Drawing is the foundation of my practice. I primarily use intaglio and lithography to convey the profound connection between artistic expression and our environment. My prints, though initially appearing somber, unfold as visual interpretations of decay within post-industrial landscapes. Yet, a closer examination reveals a narrative of life reemerging in the ruins, as nature resiliently reclaims desolate wastelands, giving rise to new ecosystems.
​
In my ongoing artistic evolution, I am drawn to monumental landscapes, particularly mountains, seeking to capture their imposing force and inherent beauty. This new exploration signifies a subtle shift in focus, hinting at my fascination with changing landscapes and the dynamic interplay between humanity and nature. Through my work, I offer viewers a poignant glimpse into our fading heritage and a reflection on the enduring vitality found amidst decay. Each piece serves as a testament to the impermanence of our cultural past and the ever-changing tapestry of life that shapes our collective narrative
