Statement
My paintings are internal/external landscapes. Each one is an effort to depict the ineffable and unseen, articulating consciousness, driven by the process and in collaboration with the medium. I believe it is the artist’s role to pinpoint moments of beauty as an entry point to deeper intelligence. My exploration of the mysterious interconnectedness is an act of activism. The practice is a spiritual intervention in a world increasingly dominated by rigid structures and inhumane ideals.
