My purpose as a visual artist is to reflect, conceal, mystify, and inspire. Through my creations, I delve into complex concepts with a spirit of curiosity, unearthing the beauty that lies within confusion. My art serves as a catalyst for exploration and dialogue, inviting viewers to engage with the intricate ways in which we shape our own realities amidst the dynamic landscape of culture. Each piece is an invitation to question, to wonder, and to discover the hidden narratives that connect us all.
I am a visual artist creating conversations about identity and contemporary culture using art. Through an intricate layering of symbols and dissected imagery, I create surreal paintings that question stereotypical narratives. My work opens a discussion on the ways in which we imprint and scribble ourselves onto our surroundings—and onto the platforms we utilize— in order to create meaning within our own realities.
Figures, symbols, objects, and places are intentionally woven together to create a combination of visual confusion and delight. Carefully balancing my compositions, I bounce back and forth between hiding and revealing - pushing and pulling while creating harmony between what is real and what is being distorted. My practice is deeply informed by research, yet is highly observational - teetering between philosophy and satire, blending the mundane with the arcane. Inspired by themes of mysticism, transformation, mythology, pop culture, feminism, and identity, my art serves as a mirror reflecting the complexities of perception, urging contemplation on the intersections of identity, environment, and creativity.
