Artist Statement

My work delves into the intricate realms of varying levels of consciousness and dissociation, seeking to articulate the profound experiences of altered reality. I aim to highlight the beauty of the mind and its power to alter one's reality as a form of self protection. Through a dynamic interplay of color, form, and texture, I invite viewers to embark on a journey beyond the confines of conventional thought, into the mysterious depths of the psyche. At the heart of my process lies a strong fascination with the materiality of paint and enmeshment of imagery. Just as our minds piece together disparate experiences and emotion to form our sense of self, my compositions blend layers of imagery to evoke a sense of complexity and depth. Bold gestural strokes intersect with delicate washes, evoking the flux and fluidity of the mind's inner landscape. Through the juxtaposition of order and chaos, structure and fluidity, my work becomes a testament to the brain’s resilience, adaptability, and continual transformation of consciousness.
