Artist Statement

The question of how we understand the human experience is a complex and significant force that influences my artistic practice. Fueled by a fascination in human phenomena, I create surreal, figurative oil paintings the serve as a visual metaphor for how the body and mind inevitably evolve and respond to the physical world. Contributing to the ongoing discourse about the relationship between human and the world in which they create, my work explores the dependencies, variabilities, and vices that result from the intersection between human nature and the modern world.
