My abstract paintings explore the intersection of transcendence, everyday living and the human desire for meaning. Through vibrant color, bold shapes, and nuanced details, I construct dreamlike visual environments that evoke both emotional vitality and contemplative depth. My paintings are grounded in a sense of optimism, inviting the viewer into spaces that are joyfully expansive, and alive with possibility.
Central to my practice is an ongoing inquiry into the idea of the good life. Rather than offering a fixed narrative, the work opens a space to consider how we seek connection, purpose, and transformation in a world increasingly defined by distraction and change. In this way, escapism emerges a form of longing that can lead us toward spiritual insight.
Influenced equally by the meditative beauty of the natural world and the dynamic energy of urban environments, my aesthetic embraces contradiction: grit and glamour, spontaneity and precision, stillness and movement. These dynamics are expressed through layered compositions that consider escapism as a path to spiritual unfolding. The work explores the connections between reality and imagination, memory, the future, and the essence of being in the present moment, inviting viewers to reflect on how these elements shape our understanding of self and meaning
The paintings serve as visual expressions of feeling, experience, and imagination, rich in contemplative dimension, and optimistic atmospheres. They offer a space for expansiveness and introspection, while holding the deeper questions that drive us: how we find meaning, how we connect, and what it means to live a life fully felt and fully lived.
