“Show’s Artist Statement
I usually paint images of locations to tell stories, using animals as symbolic representations of people in my work. Each piece is a narrative, capturing the essence of place and identity through familiar and unexpected perspectives. This exhibition invites the viewer on a journey—moving from the outside world into the comforts of home, where memory, emotion, and personal connection shape the spaces we inhabit.
