ARTIST STATEMENT
My art is an exploration of the human experience through the blending of realism and abstraction. I am fascinated by the energy that radiates from each person, and my goal is to capture and convey that energy through my paintings. I achieve this by using a vibrant color palette and layering techniques to create dynamic portraits that are both powerful and authentic.
My portraits are not simply about physical appearances, but rather a celebration of the dichotomies that make us who we are. I explore the balance between strength and vulnerability, confidence and insecurity, and other internalized identities that shape our personalities. By capturing these nuances, I hope to inspire viewers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
Through my paintings, I invite viewers to enter a world of my creation, one that is rich in emotion, energy, and meaning. I believe that art has the power to connect us on a deep level, and I hope that my work sparks conversations and inspires people to embrace their own authenticity and strength.
Ultimately, my goal is to create art that not only speaks to me, but also to those who view it. My paintings are an invitation for viewers to enter into a world of vibrant color, raw emotion, and powerful energy. Through my art, I hope to inspire others to embrace their own strength, beauty, and authenticity, and to celebrate the richness of the human experience.
