As an abstract artist, my work is a reflection of my inner world— a world of vibrant color, mystical intrigue, and fascination with the boundless beauty of nature. Each brushstroke, each splash of color, is an exploration of the intangible and the ethereal.
I draw inspiration from the natural world around me, as well as the rich dreamscapes, emotion-scapes, and soundscapes that I’ve journeyed across through time. The canvases I paint serve as Mirridian portals to these realms, inviting the viewer to constellate the terra incognita.
Abstraction is my language, color is my muse, and the psyche is my guide. Through my art, I seek to evoke pareidolia towards the mysteries that lie within.
