A body of paintings produced in 4 different ways: modern pointillism on canvas, whitewash (clouds) on wood, artwork on paper, and in ceramics.

My artwork reflects visual stories discovered through a plane window. These discoveries are aerial perspectives of vast, graphic, and playful landscapes and infrastructures from below the clouds.

I translate these discoveries visually into variations in line, blocks of saturated color, and textural surfaces. I also draw careful illustrations and organic cloud shapes that are reminiscent of my childhood imagination. For instance, during airplane journeys, I recall seeing topographic landscapes of roads, flat agricultural lands, ground plains, and buildings in layers above the ground. I translate those layerings into graphic pencil lines that mimic the curves of unexplored roads; vivid colors represent the colorful ground plains, and the liquid pour of acrylic paints and inks creates an atmospheric perspective. Finally, I chose to use water-based mediums because I love the quick drying process, which enables me to add multiple layers of other mediums on top or to add more to the composition. All forms are abstracted through a rhythmic interpretation of shape and composition.

Flying and living abroad were stimulating and became my cultural identity. These paintings are visual stories of my childhood imagination and experiences in foreign countries, seen from an aerial perspective.
