“Les Lupins des Tepako”
12” x 12”
Acrylic & Heavy Gel on Canvas
$350
My work begins with a strong need to break away from perfectionism. For a long time, I felt pressured by external expectations. Painting became a way to confront that impulse. Through it, I allow myself to let go of control, to embrace imperfection, and to create from a place that is instinctive rather than performative. My practice is an ongoing effort to unlearn the need to please and to reclaim authenticity.
I use bold, saturated palettes to evoke emotional states rather than to describe a specific place. Each painting begins without a fixed plan, evolving organically as colours interact and respond to one another. My work suggests landscapes and ideas without representing them directly.
At its core, my work is about translation. I transform internal states and memory into visual form. The titles of my pieces act as subtle anchors, offering a point of entry without dictating meaning. I want each painting to remain open, allowing for multiple readings and deep personal connections.
