Artist statement
My work is an investigation of the essence that connects us all.
It is a search of how ancient narratives echo in our contemporary world.
* Through myths, symbols, metaphors, and the reinterpretation of archetypal stories— I tell my version of our modern life.
​
* Through research, cultural artifacts and different mediums— I try to understand the human condition and the effects of rapid technological and societal changes.
​​
​
​This site features a selection of key works that demonstrate my research-driven artistic practice and my approach to bridging tradition with innovation, physical and digital, painting and sculpture, art and spirituality.
​
The answer is always in the hidden dialog IN-Between.

Speaking engagements and Workshops
From my TEDx Talk on how technology is reshaping art to workshops on how altered states of consciousness can lead to deeper creativity, I aim to open space for reflection and new perspectives.
​
I use breathwork and meditation in my artistic practice to explore altered states of consciousness, and in workshops I open these methods so participants can directly experience the deeper sources of creativity themselves.
​
My talks and workshops focus on how to apply creative dualities—structure and flow, intuition and strategy, authority and compassion—into leadership, relationships, and daily life. Through self-growth methods, introspection, and creativity, I show how these dynamics can unlock innovation and new ways of thinking.
​
Signature Topics:
-
Creativity & Innovation: lessons from art and technology
-
Working with Dualities in Leadership and Life
-
Breathwork, Meditation & Accessing Creative States
-
Creativity as a Tool for Self-Growth and Connection
-
