Artist Statement

In this collection, I pay homage to Claude Monet and his ethereal landscapes.
Monet’s ability to capture the essence of a scene with fleeting, dappled strokes has always fascinated me. His play with light and color transcends the representational, inviting viewers into an immersive experience of nature’s ever-changing moods.

In my own work, I take Monet’s legacy as a departure point. Drawing inspiration from his evocative style, I’am interested in a reinterpretation through abstraction.
Through an interplay of shapes and hues, I would like to invite viewers to immerse themselves in an abstracted world that resonates with Monet’s spirit.

It is my hope that these works evoke a sense of familiarity and discovery.
