BIO
As both an intermedia artist and art educator, I explore the intersection of digital media, photography through intermedia, blending art, technology, and personal expression.
My work draws inspiration from diverse sources, conscious and subconscious. Focused on digital media, my work is juxtaposition and blending of various resources expressing my view on contemporary issues.
Instinct guides my creative process, leading to subjects with personal significance. My portfolio reflects shifts in personal settings, from figurative themes to intricate installations and now abstract compositions.
As an immigrant accustomed to constant movement, I use my art to embrace life's changes and mirror the dynamism of its challenges.
