About
Finding that moment in a piece of music or through an old family photo album continues to shape me as an artist. I base my artwork on painting people while developing a naturalist’s perception of their beauty. The reasoning behind my artwork is to provide strong symbolism with the subjects studied and staying true to a domestic view of the subject matter. The medium used is mainly oils to effectively portray the figure and portrait.
With every piece, my intention is to invite the viewer into a deeply personal experience—whether it’s through reflection, recognition, or the evocation of a cherished memory. Each work is crafted to resonate on a profound level, offering not just a visual encounter, but an emotional journey that feels both intimate and transformative, ultimately guiding the observer back to a sense of belonging and timeless connection.
The Philosophy
While continuing to experiment with layers and transparency versus opacity, I am grasping a greater stronghold of my composition, fluidity, and figurative aspects of each piece. As of late, I have been leaning towards a loose way of painting while still keeping parts of the composition intentionally tight and detailed.
I am taking on the task of bridging the gap between abstract and realism. I find enjoyment in the process of each work and continuing to learn and explore different approaches and methods while finding solutions to my studies.
