Artist Way
Nature inspires me deeply, especially during lighthearted moments spent outside. Guided by my artist grandfather at the age of six, I began my artistic journey. His inspiring guidance laid the foundation for my passion for painting, and from that moment, art became an inseparable part of my life.
I constantly explore and refine my craft, experimenting with different methods and blending painting with realistic elements to create fresh perspectives. From oil and ink to pastel, acrylic, and watercolor, I push myself to challenge how we perceive the world.
Painting isn’t just something I do; it defines who I am. It allows me to express emotions, tell stories, and capture moments that words cannot hold. With every stroke, I pour my heart and soul into the canvas, creating art that I hope resonates deeply with those who see it.
Each piece I create is meant to evoke feelings, spark memories, and invite you into its wonders. I want to share the joy that painting gives me—spreading beauty, inspiration, and connection through every work of art.

Art Model
I have been working with artists and art photographers for many years, and I prefer to be called an art model because I create alongside the artists I work with. My journey began when I was just 12 years old, after a relative asked me to present her designed clothes on stage. Not long after, my sister—who was studying fashion design—along with her designer friends, invited me to showcase their creations as well. Since then, I have collaborated with numerous artists and art photographers, with each experience shaping my path in the arts and defining who I am as an art model.

Art Vessel
As an art model, I create alongside the art photographer or artist, becoming part of their vision while adding my own presence and expression to the work. I see myself as a vessel for artistic expression—someone who carries ideas, emotions, and visions, giving them form through the lens. Photography allows me to embody concepts, moods, and stories, becoming part of the image itself.
