after many years of working in fashion, mainly via social media, i felt the pull to change. i realised social media gave me a false sense of security. i was compensating for an inner void, wanting to be validated. i was adjusting to expectations that didn’t align with me and it literally drained me. i thought i was running out of fuel from two little kids and work but at some point i realised i was exhausted from holding on to a lie and trying to bring that to light. pretending to be someone i was not made me crave for external approval. 

my job became a reflection of the unsustainable life i was unconsciously living. i felt disoriented being thankful for the chances i received every day, living a life so many people dream of, but it was also impossible to feel free. all i ever wanted was to be creative, to shape and share beauty with the world. but the way i was forced to sell an image became a thread tied around my identity and i could not ignore how terribly i was disconnected from my true essence. doing the inner work made me realise growth is also letting go of what you think is sustaining you. 

for me it meant giving up what i worked so hard for to build organically. giving in to the process of letting go of the old so the new could come in was quite scary but taking my artistic skills seriously has done nothing but unleashing my creative side even more. today i am following my passion by fully embracing myself as an artist. these last few years i have been non stop creating with my own hands and intuition instead of working with my head.  under my own atelier division i design unique pieces inspired by architectural forms and iconic shapes. by playing with light, colours, structures, paints and pigments i like to create interesting objects that add value to any room and space. as i believe it is the imperfection that creates sense, all art pieces are embracing their irregularities in materials and patterns. 

i am constantly creating, yet i am no longer performing
