AWARD-WINNING BALLET DANCER
VISUAL ARTIST

“My artistic practice exists at the intersection of movement and visual art. Having been trained in classical ballet, I have long been fascinated by how motion can convey emotion beyond spoken language. Over time, my choreography evolved into a visual dialogue, where each gesture, turn, and extension leaves a trace like a brushstroke suspended in air. I seek to make those fleeting moments tangible, translating the rhythm of dance into the permanence of canvas.
​​
A pivotal moment came during my time in Paris, where I was deeply moved by the kinetic energy of visual art, the way the paintings seemed to breathe. This experience reshaped my artistic vision, where I explore choreography as painting in motion.
​​
The works I create are meditations on creativity and the poetic beauty of art. They invite viewers to witness the rhythm of movement stilled into poetry on canvas, where dance becomes art and art becomes dance. Through this synthesis, I hope to inspire a renewed appreciation for the harmony between visual and performing arts.”
