Artist Statement
Life is filled with beautiful moments that remind us of the richness of our existence, no matter how small or fleeting they may be. Through painting and collage, I document everyday scenes that bring me joy. By seeking beauty in the mundane, I also learn to find positivity during difficult times. From the sprawling shadow of a tree on the pavement to the intricately designed architecture of a building, beauty can be discovered in the simplest experiences. When the big picture feels chaotic, it is essential to focus on the small details that bring us happiness. Romanticizing the everyday inspires me to keep moving forward.
Even if you don't live in a place with breathtaking views or grand landscapes, beauty is still within your reach; you just need to seek it out. During my walks, I encounter many small moments that bring me joy, and my work encourages others to find their own sources of inspiration in their daily lives. While life may present challenges, beauty, love, and care are ever-present if we remain open to them.
