🎨 Artist Statement
My art is a journey from raw matter to living meaning — a transformation of silence into voice and the unseen into form. I work across sculpture, mixed media, murals, graffiti, resin, upcycled scrap metal, and land art, using materials that carry history: corroded steel, shattered glass, fragments of wood, traces of nature. I see beauty not in perfection, but in what has survived — what still vibrates with the memory of use, time, and transformation.
I am deeply inspired by visionaries who explore perception and impermanence in their own language: M.C. Escher’s impossible geometries, Andy Goldsworthy’s ephemeral earthworks, Basquiat’s unfiltered truth, Alex Grey’s spiritual anatomy, and Gillie and Marc Schattner’s joyful animal-human storytelling. From DalÃ, I borrow dream logic; from da Vinci and Michelangelo, reverence for anatomy and the divine potential of human form; from Ernst Haeckel, the organic precision of natural symmetry.
The shadow and light of Rembrandt, the fine detail of Dürer, and the chaos of Hieronymus Bosch all echo in my compositions. The compassion of John Singer Sargent, the mysticism of Gregory Colbert, the layered textures of Russell Mills, and the poetic stillness of Jo Whaley help me navigate the threshold between realism and abstraction. Bordalo II’s activism, Banksy’s defiance, and Shel Silverstein’s simplicity remind me that art must also speak — to conscience, to empathy, and to wonder.
My process is tactile and instinctive. I move between construction and destruction — welding, layering, breaking apart, and rebuilding — until the materials begin to tell me their story. Each work becomes an emotional landscape, born from both chaos and contemplation. I aim not for control but for collaboration with matter, letting decay, light, and gravity become co-creators.
Ultimately, my work seeks to embody resilience — to reveal how life renews itself through the very act of falling apart. Every mark, scar, and imperfection is part of a larger conversation about impermanence, survival, and the sacredness of transformation.
