In the rush of city life, it’s easy to miss the quiet moments  — the soft textures, the fading stories, the gentle rhythms beneath the surface. My work is an invitation to pause and notice those overlooked corners where time seems to slow and memories linger.

These pieces speak to anyone who feels the pull of forgotten places, who senses beauty in the worn and weathered, and who finds comfort in the subtle poetry of urban life. Through layers of rescued billboard paper, cracked paint, and scratched surfaces, I explore the delicate balance between presence and absence — capturing the traces that spaces leave on us, and that we leave behind. 

I hope my art offers a moment of stillness in your day, a quiet reflection where you can reconnect with the textures of memory and the stories held by the walls around us. Whether it reminds you of a city walk, a faded corner, or simply a feeling, these works are made to resonate with your own experience of place and time.

​

My process is informal and intuitive, rooted in a sense of realism that acknowledges both the harshness and the poetry of the everyday.

I use acylic paint, rescued billboard paper, wax crayons, pencil, markers and a good amount of scratching and sanding. By doing so I seek to evoke a sense of nostalgia — a quiet reflection on the spaces we leave behind and the traces they leave on us.
