Artist Statement

My work spans painting, sculpture, and installation, blending geometric forms, organic textures, and painterly abstraction to explore themes of consciousness, society, nature, and technology. Each piece begins with an intuitive mark, evolving through a balance of spontaneity and intention. Inspired by meditation, dreams, and the subconscious, I draw on abstraction to unearth hidden imagery and narratives.

Decisions about defining figures, shaping atmospheres, and blending figure with ground guide the resolution of each piece, creating a dynamic body of work. Together, these pieces form an ecosystem where biological and synthetic impulses converge, reflecting the complexity of our shared psychic life.
