The Hand (Khamsa), particularly the open right hand, is a sign of protection that also represents blessings, power and strength, and is seen as potent in deflecting the evil eye. The hand can be depicted with the fingers spread apart to ward off evil, or as closed together to bring good luck. Raising one's right hand with the palm showing and the fingers slightly apart is part of this curse meant "to blind the aggressor".

As an artist, I constantly strive to create works that not only visually captivate but also have a deep meaning. My paintings are a vivid example of how art can convey complex ideas and emotions.

The theme of my work is analyzing feelings and emotions, expressing them with colors and images. For me, art is a way to speak without saying a word. A way to shout across continents and cross borders, all without leaving my studio. Art knows no borders, for it transcends the pettiness of politics. My work allows me to be understood by others despite speaking or writing a different language, because art is the common language of humanity.

I especially try to combine abstract elements with depictions of women. By playing with form and space, I create dynamic interactions that attract the viewer and invite exploration of multiple levels of meaning in each composition.

As an artist, I explore the complex relationship between the female form and the abstract world. Women in these paintings are not just objects of desire but rather powerful symbols of femininity, sensuality, and strength.

The vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes create a sense that the paintings come alive right before your eyes. The abstract elements add depth and complexity, suggesting that the female form has much more to offer than what meets the eye.

Creativity is freedom. The freedom of the soul.

Art does not simply reflect the world around us, it can be used to alter our world, even shaping entirely new worlds drawn solely from the imagination of the artist. Do not worry if you think you do not understand art. Art is not something you understand with your mind, but experience with your heart and soul.

In a world where we are besieged by stress on all sides, we often find ourselves hiding our feelings not only from each other, but from ourselves as well. In my work, I remind others it is okay to have feelings; to express them and share them with those around you. I study all facets of experience and sensation, listening to the voices of both society and myself, looking deep inside to uncover the most closely guarded feelings and emotions.


Life itself is an inspiration. The diversity caused by the interweaving of emotions and experiences, whether positive or negative, creates a tapestry that is a wonder to behold. Life, all life, is beautiful. It is the most valuable gift one can ever receive.

As an artist, I believe it's important to challenge viewers' perceptions and ideas about the world. My paintings do just that, inviting viewers to reconsider their understanding of femininity and the role of women in society.

My works are a true celebration of the female form and its multifaceted meanings. I have created a captivating and mesmerizing world that attracts and holds the viewer. These works of art are a testament to the power of art to inspire and challenge our perceptions of the world around us.
