Visual artist, visual arts teacher

In my artistic practice, the creation of dynamism, tension, and paradox plays a central role. My works explore the relationship between materiality and meaning-making through the dialectical interplay of organic and inorganic, natural and artificial structures. Rather than relying on boldness or overt visual spectacle, they cultivate a finely articulated, contemplative aesthetic that invites processes of perception and interpretation. My multimedia approach is deeply rooted in the narrative potential of materials: they function not merely as mediums but as autonomous carriers of meaning. My aesthetic and philosophical inquiries focus on the intermedial boundaries between nature and technology, where oppositions are not simply contrasts but fields of transformation. The interactions between the organic and the artificial, the living and the inanimate, generate dynamic layers of meaning that unfold through the act of reception. Perceptual immersion and experiential situatedness play a crucial role in my work. My pieces are not static objects but conceptual and affective catalysts that activate through the viewer’s subjective perception and memory. I believe that art is not merely a visual phenomenon but a phenomenological event-one that finds its fulfillment in the viewer’s reflections, opening new pathways for self-interpretation and world perception.
