Artist Statement
I create large-scale abstract paintings that are deeply rooted in physicality, movement, and emotional expression. My work is an extension of my inner world—a world I spent 25 years suppressing before finding the confidence to let it flow freely. Through unconventional techniques like throwing, pouring, spinning, and etching, I bring visceral human experience to every stroke, valuing the effort, intuition, and imperfection that define handmade art in an era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence.
My journey into art was anything but linear. I spent years following a more traditional path in engineering and business, suppressing the part of me that felt different—creatively restless, deeply sensitive, and in search of something more. It wasn’t until I embraced this part of myself fully that I found my true purpose in life. Now, I push the boundaries of what I can create, striving to build a legacy of work that is not only visually striking but eternally resonant.
I believe in the power of art to inspire, to challenge, and to move people beyond words. My goal is to craft pieces that don’t just exist as pretty pictures, but as immersive, alive experiences. This pursuit is my life’s work, and I’m only just scratching the surface.
