Artistic Practice

I believe that true appreciation of life is found in the present moment, and this deeply influences my art. My inspiration comes from two main sources: the ocean and the South Korean Dansaekhwa movement.

I’m drawn to the ocean’s power and tranquility, a duality that fuels my imagination and guides my expression. Likewise, Dansaekhwa’s focus on meditative, repetitive gestures resonates with my sculpting process, inviting mindfulness and presence.

Through paper, I explore emotional resonance, combining expressive gestures with freedom of interpretation for viewers. I invite you to engage with my work as a visual experience grounded in the present moment.

About the Art

Using different scalpel blades and hand movements, I am able to carve the paper in a variety of ways, manipulating its texture to create complex light-dark contrasts.  

I use a variety of techniques and mediums, such as gold leaf, acrylic paint, or watercolour, as part of my artistic exploration.

The paper I use is acid free, 100% cotton, 640g/m^2, and all works are framed using plexiglas or anti-UV, anti-reflection museum quality glass. 

All works are hand signed and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity.
