FROM THE ARTIST:
D
My work explores the intersection of the human body and its surroundings, often depicting interior and exterior scenes illuminated by reflective light. I am particularly interested in imagination as a tool for reinventing memory and frequently incorporate elements of color theory through a limited palette in my compositions. Beyond aesthetics, I am deeply committed to art as both an academic pursuit and a means of healing. I believe art has the power to challenge and break boundaries, and I use my work to explore the complexities of space and togetherness.
Lately, my practice has focused on platonic intimacy.
BEDSCAPES, a series of emotional fabric landscapes, illustrates this through naturalistic oil paintings that merge classical landscape traditions with my tangible obsession with bodily fabric. This body of work reflects a universal longing for shared calm at the end of the day.
Deeply influenced by the Romanticism movement, my work embraces emotion and nature over logic and industry. While I do not wish to overlook life’s harsh realities—the weight of struggle, solitude, and impermanence—I find a sense of freedom in feeling, imagination, and the organic world. In times of struggle, I turn to the small victories and peaceful routines that provide moments of calm, helping to restore balance in the midst of chaos. Ultimately, my work underscores the fundamental need for partnership and peace, a shared desire for connection and harmony.
We look forward to seeing you there!
