I create contemporary multimedia art that challenges perceptions of reality, encouraging viewers to question their beliefs about themselves, society, and culture. My work explores the fragmented and heterogeneous nature of reality, using immersive spatial and light experiences to engage audiences as active participants.

By combining painting, photography, and video, I deconstruct urban environments and social landscapes into layered, symbolic compositions. These works examine social, political, and psychological tensions, transforming documented spaces and memories into dynamic mental landscapes.

Committed to socially engaged art, my practice reflects both human achievements and ongoing societal challenges, offering viewers a space to reflect, interpret, and experience reality in new and provocative ways.
