Artists' statement
Colour is at the heart of my artistic practice. Through watercolour and textile art, I explore its expressive possibilities, along with light, texture, and the beauty of materials.
In my watercolour paintings, I am particularly drawn to flowers and the natural world. Working with delicate, transparent layers of colour, I seek to capture luminosity, depth, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. My process is patient and meditative, allowing each layer to contribute to the richness and radiance of the finished work.
In my felted textile creations, I explore a different dimension of artistic expression through wool, silk, and other natural materials. The interplay of colour, texture, transparency, and form allows me to create unique pieces that invite both visual and tactile discovery.
Although these two practices differ in their materials and techniques, they share a common thread: my enduring passion for colour and my desire to explore its expressive potential.
