Creative Experience
Multimedia Artist & Designer
Independent · Ongoing
I work across painting, digital illustration, and emerging AI-based practices. My work explores themes of migration, mental health, and memory, often focusing on transformation and identity. I’m currently developing a body of work that combines visual art and writing to explore stories of resistance and becoming.
Commissioned Work
2018 – Present
I create custom paintings and portraits for private clients, blending traditional media with personal storytelling. Each piece is developed collaboratively, resulting in work that is emotional, intentional, and deeply connected to the individual.
