At times, however, I move away from portraiture to explore abstraction as a subject in its own right. These works allow me to investigate ideas without the presence of the human figure, relying instead on color, form, and symbolic gestures. Like my figurative pieces, they remain visually lush and graphically intricate, unfolding through surrealistic compositions that reflect the social constructs of humanity and the layered complexity of existence.

I often refer to these abstract works as “mental chalkboards”—spaces where thoughts, symbols, histories, and emotional residues accumulate, overlap, and are reconsidered. In this way, the work becomes both a visual language and a site of reflection, where personal and collective narratives can coexist, collide, and evolve.
