“A seesaw aspect of my artistic practice is the delicate balance between taking myself seriously and embracing the funny and the nonsensical. I hold a special affection for the realm where the ridiculous and the dramatic converge, creating a captivating union that never fails to fascinate me. When I seek inspiration, I often draw from the rich imagery associated with childhood, both personal and collective: enchanting fairy tales; enigmatic mystery stories; the kitschy trinkets in grandmothers’ houses; naive toys and illustrations; the timeless allure of Disney classics. These nostalgic influences seamlessly intertwine with my contemporary fascinations, such as fashion photography, meme culture, and a touch of glossy sensuality.”
