Provenance


Literature

My artwork is an expression of simplicity and modern geometric design, utilizing fundamental shapes such as squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles to represent elements of life, particularly birds and animals. Through clean, precise lines, I craft a visual language that captures the essence of these creatures, instilling their inherent beauty within geometric forms.


Employing collage techniques, I meticulously gather and assemble these shapes to create forms that are both recognizable and abstract, evoking memories and emotions. Each figure is thoughtfully positioned, symbolizing a fragment of the past, a moment suspended in time, and a story yearning to be told. The birds and animals depicted are not merely shapes but symbols of freedom, nature, and the ephemeral moments that constitute our lives.


The minimalist approach I adopt eliminates superfluous elements, retaining only the essential components that convey the intended narrative. This simplicity invites the viewer to engage with the artwork on a deeper level, discovering personal interpretations and memories within the geometric forms.


My work explores how basic shapes transcend their simplicity to convey complex emotions and memories, forging a bridge between the past and the present through the universal language of geometry.
