Artist Statement
I paint what I know and what I feel using abstracted figures and landscapes to reflect the human condition. Through emotional expression and diverse aesthetics I share my personal subjects and stories with the intention of reaching a broad public. I believe that we all experience the same thoughts and feelings along our journey through life, each of us having the same spiritual core. Human beings share more in common than we often think.
With boundless colors, patterning and textures, my work is dense, filled with history and emotion. Through a wide range of processes and techniques - including drawing, painting, pouring and sculpting -my works become multi-layered compositions imitating the complexity of life.
Stemming from my need for growth, self-reflection and expression, my work is ultimately a tool for the public. I want to inspire people and make them feel; not just view my work as a reflection of me and as an aesthetic product, but to look deeper inside themselves. My art is open and honest, something I achieve by not holding back, rethinking, or covering anything up. I hope this purity encourages people to trust themselves and live their lives in the same way I make art and to reflect upon their own human experience and condition.
