THE “REQUIRED TO TOUCH“ PHILOSOPHY

For a long time, the art world has had this unwritten rule: look, but never touch. I think that puts a cold, boring wall between you and the art, and my work completely rejects that. To me, art shouldn't just be a passive object you stare at from across the room. It’s meant to be a hands-on experience. By using heavy textures like molding paste, plaster, and different fabrics, I turn every canvas into a landscape made specifically for human contact. I truly believe a piece isn't fully complete until it’s actually felt.

When you run your hands over these surfaces, you’re connecting directly with real stories and memories—like the snowy alpine peaks from my time skiing in France, the rough ridges of Baltic sea foam, or the protective shapes of an ancient symbol. These textures are a physical reminder to stop over-thinking everything, cut through the daily noise, and get back to something raw and real. You are officially invited to look with your hands, feel the materials, and experience the art beneath your fingertips.
