Artist's personal statement:
Having lived in many different places one can only return as a new entity
As an artist, I try to explore aspects of identity, roots and origins, place and displacement, crossings and wanderings, new surroundings, and ever-changing reality and how these experiences inform and transform the person and the self that ultimately help me to find my artistic expression on the canvas and other creative materials.
