Artist Statement

I utilize both digital and classical painting techniques to convey the overwhelming sense of stimulation I experience daily. By translating these sensations into analog forms such as paper, wood, or canvas, I aim to prompt viewers to reflect on their existence amidst a world clamoring for attention. Blending feeling and emotion through intuitive mark-making, my art creates dynamic scenes that blur the lines between subject and background. Through underlying messages, I guide viewers toward introspection, often touching on political or moral themes. Whether through portraits of politicians, graffiti-inspired typography, or surreal explosions of color, my work explores the concept of interaction by combining multiple mediums to depict a sense of helpless wonder in a chaotic world.

I’m currently developing a series of paintings as well as collages, with the latter involving public engagement and installation within Graffiti Park, Philadelphia.
