“My process is one of manipulation and
exploration, as I craft my own paints to achieve a palette of vibrant hues. Through a variety of tech-
niques—pouring, splashing, splattering, spraying, smearing, sanding, and drawing—I create elastic forms that dance across the surface, giving rise to textures that are at once flat and glossy, inviting the viewer to ex- plore new wonders of reality, new space, and universes. My work is cerebral, complicated, playful, and layered, inviting you to delve into a world of sensory wonder and imagination. Above all, I seek to evoke new dimensions of space and reality, challenging perceptions and inviting contemplation.
“In recent years, the urgency of global warm- ing has become a central influence on my work. I aim to raise awareness of our collec- tive impact on the planet, urging viewers to reconsider their global footprint and the ac- tions we can take to mitigate climate change. The work aims to remind us of the intercon- nectedness of all life and the importance of sustainability. Ultimately, I hope that my work sparks dialogue, inspires introspection, and fosters a deeper connection to both the natu- ral world and our shared humanity. “
