Patina refers to the final layer formed on surfaces after years of exposure.

I work through layers—material, visual, emotional, and informational. My paintings are built slowly, accumulating marks, textures, erasures, and revisions. Each layer holds a moment in time: a memory, a reference, a gesture, a fragment of information. What remains visible is not a single image, but a compressed archive of decisions and experiences.

Across all forms, I am interested in how meaning accumulates - how memory embeds itself into materials, and how objects can function as vessels for time.

Rather than creating isolated pieces, Patina builds a connected language - one that moves fluidly between wall, body, and ornament. Each piece is part of a larger system and becomes a portable fragment of a larger spatial narrative.

At its core, my work explores how we construct memory through layers - what we choose to reveal and what we leave buried.
