STATEMENT

As a professional artist with a background in both traditional and contemporary techniques, I specialize in capturing the beauty and essence of the human form.
My work is heavily influenced by the graceful lines of femininity, combining movement and emotion to evoke a deeper connection with the viewer. With a foundation in classical art education and a passion for storytelling, I seek to explore
the intimate relationship between body and soul through painting and drawing.
