About the Artist

A Journey Between Art and Science

Art has always been part of my life, even while I pursued a career in molecular biology and clinical research. Science taught me to observe, question, and understand complex systems, while painting became the space where I could embrace uncertainty, intuition, and experimentation. Rather than leaving science behind, I brought its way of thinking into my artistic practice. Today, these two worlds continue to shape how I investigate materials, process, and the fragile balance between structure and unpredictability.

The Language of Materials

Every material has its own voice. My work begins without a predetermined image, allowing gesture, layering, cuts, stitched interventions, and unexpected reactions to guide the composition as it evolves.

Working with painting, drawing, textiles, thread, and sculptural elements, I embrace the unpredictable nature of the creative process. Rather than controlling the outcome, I collaborate with the materials, letting them reveal new possibilities and directions.

Exploring Rupture and Repair

Across my different series, I investigate themes of uncertainty, connection, fragility, and transformation. Thread has become a recurring element in my work—not as decoration, but as a visual language of tension, memory, repair, and resilience.

By interrupting and reconstructing the painted surface, I invite viewers to reflect on the ways we navigate change, rebuild relationships, and find meaning in imperfection.

An Evolving Practice

My work has been presented through solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, art fairs, and artist residencies across Europe. Each new body of work expands my ongoing investigation into material behaviour and the dialogue between art and science.

Whether working on canvas, paper, or sculptural forms, I seek to create works that encourage viewers to embrace complexity, and discover beauty in transformation.
