This work captures those moments where beauty lies in impermanence, surfacing in those spikes of aliveness, like a heightened nervous system pulse, expressing the tension between reality and intention. The ever-changing flow, textures, stain washes, chaos and freedom represent reality itself, life in constant motion, full of unpredictability and often beyond our control. The symbology, on the other hand, represents intention: solid, structured points we choose to give meaning within that flow.

Through this interplay, the work reveals how we navigate life’s shifting nature by grounding ourselves in the symbols we create. Life exists as both movement and structure, and within that contrast I leave space for the viewer’s own interpretation.


À Flor da Pele expresses my deepest vulnerability yet, and it invites the same in the viewer. To see ourselves as delicate blooms of nature that feel life all the way from the strength of the core to the tenderness of the surface.
