Artist Statement
I paint what we often overlook.
Moments that slip by — soft, small, ordinary. But never unimportant.
At The Minakari, I try to hold them still, just for a while longer.
This is a space for the unsaid, the unnoticed, and the quietly beautiful.
Each artwork begins as a feeling, becomes a memory, and ends as a story.
My brush is simply a way of remembering.

![You can always make it better later.
The important part is letting it exist first, because every finished piece once looked like an unfinished beginning.

![There are moments when progress feels invisible, when all you can do is keep creating, keep trusting, keep going.
Often, itās only later that we realize we were standing right in the middle of what we once hoped for.

![These are my pre-canvas sketches.
Small studies where I figure out composition, characters, and movement before starting the final painting.
Nothing polished here, just working out the idea so the canvas makes more sense later. Thereās something honest about this stage⦠sometimes even more than the finished work.

![Iāve realised I donāt enjoy working fast.
Thereās a certain slowness that feels essential to how I create.
Of course, there have been times when Iāve had to finish work just to meet a deadline. And when I look back at those pieces, everything might seem technically right⦠but something feels missing. It didnāt come from a place where my thoughts had enough time to settle, to deepen, to become clear.
For me, a painting needs time.
Time to sit with it, to question it, to slowly weave a story around it in my mind. I need to live in that world for a while before I can bring it onto the canvas.
That slowness is where the work becomes honest.
