Description: My studio serves as a place of refuge from the outside world. These paintings pay homage to that feeling, envisioning a place of safety and liberation. In my art, color is not merely a visual element but a symbol of the social construct of identity in society. The vibrancy and juxtaposition of colors in my paintings represent the complexity of human identity, challenging traditional notions of hegemony. My brushstrokes are meditations on transcendence and reincarnation, inviting viewers to explore the power of art as a means to transcend societal boundaries and find rebirth in the act of creation.
