I make art as a way to record one’s true essence on a fixed surface. The vehicle to investigate human existence throughout all of my artworks is created using a combination of traditional drawing and painting techniques along with contemporary approaches. I interpret the human body and psyche through a plethora of mediums including oil paint, pastels, graphite, charcoal, and colored pencil. I explore each instrument and it’s relationship to flesh and form through realism. I will always stay true to traditional techinques in a world of AI. I often layer sacred patterns and symbols into the composition which allows for a metaphorical transformation of the higher-self into matter. Upon a detailed inspection you will find hidden messages and meanings embedded into multiple facets of the work.
