About 4 years ago, I decided to paint something for my room. However, I encountered a minor obstacle - the absence of a traditional canvas. Instead of purchasing a new one, I sought out alternative options and ultimately discovered an old wooden circular piece that had once been the lid of a bin. It presented itself as the perfect surface for my artistic endeavors. I created a wave painting on one half of the piece and became enamored with the natural look of the raw wood. So why hide it with paint? I started collecting various wooden pieces and painting objects that would create a striking contrast with the natural wood. Additionally, the innovative idea arose to saw down the pieces into captivating shapes and sizes.

Through this, I developed my distinctive painting style. My artwork blends realistic painting with natural raw wood, creating a dynamic interplay between stillness and motion. Every piece is carefully selected, cut, prepped, painted, sealed, and handcrafted by yours truly. My intention is to reveal how the hidden beauty within wood can be transformed, turning the ordinary into something new and ever-evolving. Thanks for stopping by!
