Since childhood, I have been drawn to imaginary worlds shaped by fantasy, folklore, and nature. Through painting, I try to capture the same feeling I once found in books and stories — the sensation of stepping through a hidden doorway into another universe.
My work is inspired by femininity, mythology, moonlight, forests, and the quiet magic that exists between dream and reality.
About
My journey
I began drawing and painting seriously as a teenager, although creativity had always been part of my life long before technique ever was. Growing up surrounded by books, films, and fantasy stories, I became fascinated by worlds that felt larger, softer, and more magical than reality itself.
Over time, that fascination slowly found its way into my art. Even in my earliest projects, themes of femininity, nature, symbolism, and transformation were already present.
My artistic journey eventually led me abroad, first to South Korea, where I studied art for two years, and later to Florence to deepen my understanding of traditional painting techniques. While these experiences challenged me creatively, they also helped me understand the kind of artist I truly wanted to become.
Process and inspiration
Most of my paintings begin as small sketches and fragments of ideas inspired by the books I read, the music I listen to, or images that stay in my mind long after I imagine them.
I work primarily with oils and acrylics, often building my paintings slowly over weeks or even months. I am deeply drawn to details, atmosphere, softness, and expression, especially in the eyes and gestures of my characters.
For me, painting has always been a way of making imaginary worlds feel tangible. I do not create art to deliver grand messages, but rather to invite people to dream, wander, and momentarily escape into something magical.
Beyond
When I am not painting, I am usually surrounded by books, sketchbooks, music, and the quiet company of my cats, always searching for new worlds to bring to life on canvas.
