Protagonist (2023-Current)

Protagonist is an evolving body of work fueled by the raw energy of lives and landscapes encountered while living abroad. These expressive, abstract-figurative canvases fuse moments of the extraordinary with the mundane, excavating personal narratives through layers of paint and gesture. The series confronts the fractures and overlaps of identity—unearthing shared human tensions and contradictions that pulse beneath disparate realities. Here, individual histories dissolve and collide, revealing the porous boundaries between self and other.
