Flesh is not porcelain or plastic.

In my work, the human body is both a subject and a landscape—alive, textured, and full of history. My paintings often focus on the body in its most vulnerable form, exploring nudes that show not just the surface, but the essence of experience. I use the spatula technique in my oil paintings to capture the body’s strength, resilience, and rawness. Flesh is alive, full of memory, and marked by time. Each scar, wrinkle, and contour tells a story of life, movement, and endurance.

The spatula lets me create rough, yet sensitive textures that give depth to the skin, something brushes alone can’t do. By layering thick strokes of paint, I emphasize the vitality and imperfect beauty of human flesh. The marks left by the spatula symbolize how time shapes us. My paintings are not about perfect forms, but about expressing the life lived within the body—something that can't be erased or smoothed away.

With this technique, I move away from idealized depictions of the human form, embracing the roughness and weight of what it means to be human. Through the nude, I aim to celebrate the body as a vessel of lived truth, showing its raw, real, and beautiful complexity.
