My painting practice explores the inner life of displacement — how political rupture becomes psychological experience. Working at large scale and through layered, gestural surfaces, I use symbolism and archetypal imagery to make visible what is often unspoken: grief, survival, fractured identity, and the quiet endurance of the body under pressure.

The refugee crisis sits at the centre of my current work. Rather than illustrating events, I build emotional landscapes where figures carry memory, loss, and resilience through colour, texture, and recurring motifs. I am drawn to the point where personal history meets collective reality — where a single face or posture can hold the weight of a wider humanitarian condition.

Painting, for me, is both excavation and offering: a way to invite empathy without simplifying complexity. Each canvas becomes a site of dialogue, asking viewers to look longer, feel more carefully, and recognise the shared humanity that persists even in exile.
