These landscapes are painted from memory, with terrain and silhouettes constructed from collaged prints, painted papers, and layers of oil paint. The process of assembling fragmented elements blurs the boundary between observation and recollection, creating compositions that feel both familiar and imagined. The resulting works evoke a dreamlike, surreal atmosphere, inviting a sensory and emotional response rather than a literal reading of place.
