Artist Statement
My paintings are windows.
Contrary to replicating the details of the physical world, my work is an invitation to leave behind the mundane confines of the everyday and venture into a realm of heightened feeling and metaphorical resonance. I seek to imbue my canvases with a numinous quality, a luminous and enigmatic presence that stirs the imagination.
I want those who view my work to feel the gust of this mystical force, to be transported to a world infused with transcendent power and possibility.
By subverting the traditional boundaries between the physical and the ethereal, the concrete and the symbolic, I hope to cultivate a state of expanded awareness and deeper connection - not just to the artwork itself, but to the unseen energies and unsounded depths of human experience that lie beyond the surface of things.
In this way, my paintings function as gateways, offering passage into parallel dimensions of consciousness and creative possibility.
