What makes a place feel like home when you keep moving?
After years of living in different cities, I stopped thinking of home as an address. It is the people we love, a familiar scent, the light in a certain room, an afternoon under a tree. These paintings try to hold those quiet, sensory things.
Every painting begins with orange, the colour I associate with the warm light of a new life. I then build the surface in layers of warm and cool acrylic, because a life holds both bright and difficult moments. The edges of each canvas are painted in fluorescent orange, so the work seems to glow from within.
A house appears in every painting, sometimes clear, sometimes hidden in the layers. It might be a childhood home or an imagined one, never a portrait of a real building.
I don’t offer a definition of home, I’d like each person to find their own.

Depending on where life takes us, we often change where we live. We move to a new school, another city for university, to find ourselves, to be with someone we love, because we have to or in search of a better future. Among all these houses and places, where is our true home? Can we lose it, or is home something we carry within us, wherever we happen to be?
A Summer Nap, 2026
Acrylic on canvas
110 × 110 cm
This painting is based on one of my favourite memories from the village where I spent my childhood. I like to find a big tree in the garden, spread out a blanket and lie there watching the sunlight move through the leaves. Eventually, the branches start to blend into the clouds, everything becomes a little blurred and I fall asleep. I wanted to capture that moment between being awake and asleep, when you can no longer tell whether you're looking at the trees, the clouds or simply dreaming.
Back to The Roots, 2026
Acrylic on canvas,
110x80 cm
Back to the Roots, 2026 reflects on returning to the places that shaped us. As we grow older and move through different cities and countries, we often find ourselves looking back at where we started. Returning to familiar places can bring back memories and feelings that we may have forgotten, while also making us realise how much we have changed. This painting is about that connection to where we come from and the parts of it that we continue to carry with us.
Sunstroke, 2026
Acrylic on canvas,
110x80 cm
Sunstroke, 2026 is inspired by those unexpected places where you immediately feel good. You might only be there for a day or a few weeks, but somehow you don't want to leave.
Inner Path, 2026
Acrylic on canvas,
80x60 cm
This piece reflects the idea of a path we don’t always see or plan, but somehow follow instinctively, step by step. For me, it’s about the quiet process of finding ourselves and finding that inner sense of home, where we feel calm, grounded and at peace.

Under a Dreamy Sky, 2026
Acrylic on canvas,
100x90 cm
Under a Dreamy Sky, 2026 is inspired by those quiet moments when you stop and simply look at the sky. The world around you seems to slow down, and for a moment it becomes difficult to tell where reality ends and imagination begins. The painting explores that feeling of being somewhere familiar while letting your mind wander somewhere else.

Blur, 2026
Acrylic on canvas,
140x140 cm
I’m sitting in the passenger seat, looking out the window. Everything outside is blurred as the car keeps moving forward. I still can’t clearly make out the landscape beyond the glass. But I know that once the car stops, the view will become clear. For now, it remains only a Blur. This painting reflects that feeling of moving through uncertainty, when everything around us seems unclear, yet we trust that clarity will eventually come.
