My sister and I are oil painters that work at the intersection of symbolist imagery, romantic landscape, and classical figuration. Our paintings place human presence either as the highlight or within vast, emotionally charged environments, using atmosphere and subtle exaggeration to push realism toward a more mythic register.
I am drawn to monumentalism, sublimity and figures that feel both embodied and archetypal, suspended between the intimate and the epic.
While grounded in academic structure and value-based painting, my work attempts to be less concerned with strict realism than with creating scenes that feel psychologically resonant and quietly otherworldly. Symbolism runs through the work not as illustration, but as an underlying emotional and spiritual language, shaping mood, gesture, and composition. Through this approach, it is my aim to create paintings that hold tension between beauty and unease, stillness and scale, reality and transformation.

These images feel as though they belong to the world, but are charged with something deeper and stranger.
