Artist's Statement
I was brought up in a family of artists. Their influence ranged from
painting to designing space, from eastern classical music to clay
pottery - the inclination came naturally to me. Now, as a professional
practicing artist, I feel blessed for the constant encouragement in
those early years, which fuelled my interests and resulted in my career
development through Art education.
Being a fine art graduate and taking up printmaking as a specialist subject was a result of my fascination with the technical aspects of this discipline. The freedom and room for experimentation that one experiences whilst developing an image present physical and intellectual challenges that have been so rewarding for me to encounter.
I have been actively involved with the issues concerning identity, whether it is my own face that I am working with or tracing a historical perspective through old family photographs. Coming to terms with the changes that one faces in life, I try to simplify complex issues through layers and create transparency. Text and stamps, on the other hand, remain a constant element in my work.
