Statement
Drawn to both natural and man-made structures, I explore the multifaceted nuances of our world in my "Making Peace" series. Featuring architectural design elements, plants, and flowers, these pieces delve into the world of creation and wonder that surrounds us.
My practice resembles spiritual discipline. Rather than hunting for moments of transcendence, I cultivate a way of seeing where, in the mundane, in the everyday life, I see glory.
Artistic Process
My artistic practice is a playful journey of curiosity and introspection. I embrace a child-like playfulness, allowing it to guide me through the creative process. Many times in my practice, I incorporate creative prayer, a way of connecting with something greater than myself, where each brushstroke and mark becomes a dialogue with the divine.
As I paint and draw, I let the subject matter evolve organically. Layers and patterns interweave like a vibrant patchwork, reflecting the complexity of human emotions and experiences. By combining digital and traditional art-making techniques, I create Fusion Prints that are professionally printed on fine art matte paper.
These prints serve as a foundation for further exploration. I enhance each piece with unique marks and movements, infusing them with spontaneity and life. This playful interaction with the artwork ensures that no two pieces are identical, mirroring the diverse yet interconnected nature of our individual journeys.
Through my artwork, I invite viewers to find moments of wonder within the layers of their own life.
