Being an artist is like carrying a sacred title. I best express myself through painting and drawing, which, for me, are the most ideal mediums. I like to create sequential images that allude to a specific story and construct a narrative that viewers must unravel, like a mystery. A central theme in my work is the concept of power and the abuse of power in interpersonal, social, and political relationships. I like to present real events within surreal atmospheres, playing with metaphors, irony, and humor.

The Night of the Tulips is a diptych that belongs to a series I titled “Beautiful Flowers of Evil.” In this composition, we are looking through a window from the outside, witnessing an intimate scene within the room. The visual relationship between the two panels suggests that a malicious act has taken place. We are left with an unsettling feeling by the fact that we too don’t know exactly what is occurring. In my work, I strive to cultivate a sense of suspense, continually encouraging viewers to question what is unfolding, so that each person can observe and construct their own understanding of the narrative within the diptych.
