About

My body of work often combines surreal elements and representational imagery from the natural world. Having lived in a large, dense city for most of my life I try to translate the urban noise harmoniously through art. Oil painting is my preferred medium, as it allows me to develop and present a blend of precision and abstraction. I enjoy the fluidity of paint and use it to explore themes based on the coexistence of nature and modernity. Due to its slow drying process, it helps compress large ideas through the use of small detail.

I have always placed a heavy emphasis on texture and patterns in my art. Through my lens geometric shapes and repetitive motifs are expressed with vivid detail; to me this is one of the core artistic expressions by nature. Whether I am painting an egg shell or a skyscraper, I try to break down these complex figures to their smallest parts. Presenting my subjects in their most aesthetically pleasing form and emphasizing their beauty. 

My current artistic practice is exploring portraiture with an emphasis on illustrative realism.  I hope to convey my view of the world so that it resonates with the observer, presenting beauty that otherwise might have gone unnoticed.
