My work explores the complex relationship between emotion, identity, and imagination through graphite and charcoal portraiture. Using a blend of realism and abstraction, I seek to capture not just physical likeness, but the unseen — the inner thoughts, emotions, and stories that shape who we are. Each portrait becomes a reflection of both the subject and the viewer, inviting moments of introspection, empathy, and healing.

I am drawn to the raw honesty of black and white media — the way subtle tonal shifts can express vulnerability, strength, and contradiction all at once. Through bold lines, intricate textures, and surreal or ethereal elements, I build visual narratives that blur the boundary between the real and the imagined. My compositions often draw inspiration from music, idioms, and fragments of personal reflection, weaving symbolism and emotion into each piece.

Ultimately, my art is a dialogue about being human — about feeling deeply, reflecting inwardly, and connecting authentically. I hope that my work encourages others to pause, look closer, and find something familiar within the faces and forms I create: a reminder of our shared capacity for empathy, growth, and transformation.
