Statement

My work is guided by a core principle: combining symbolism and values with the realities of everyday life, both in the visual image and in the craft itself. Through this approach, I seek to discover deeper meanings within daily experiences and social structures.

The textile creations tell stories through colour, shape, and material. Initially rooted in personal ideas and experiences, my work gradually evolved to incorporate figurative elements. Techniques such as quilting and embroidery further enrich the narrative, transforming printed textiles into intricate works that express personal interpretations and invite viewers to discover their own layers of meaning.

The decision to work with textiles as an artistic medium was inspired by both historical and contemporary research into art and textile practices. This conceptual foundation can be seen in several of my major series, including The Blue Brain, The Missis Braini, The Interpretations, and The Radiations.

The series Extras, on the other hand, focuses primarily on interpreting and emphasizing active, visual, and pictorial elements of contemporary life in the twenty-first century.

My creative process is characterized by the spontaneous translation of ideas into colour and form, reflecting an energetic and intuitive way of working. I closely observe people and interpret their activities and behaviours as they unfold in everyday life. A particular focus is placed on human qualities such as concentration, individuality, and presence.
