About the Artist

Artist Statement

My technique often begins with rapid, intuitive strokes, especially in my pastel works. This approach allows me to capture the initial energy and emotion of a scene or idea. When translating these into larger oil paintings, I focus on maintaining that initial spark while developing more complex color relationships and spatial dynamics.
At the heart of my artistic philosophy is the belief in the interconnectedness of all things. Whether I’m painting a seascape or creating an abstract composition, I’m always seeking to reveal the underlying unity in diversity. This worldview, deeply rooted in my spiritual path, informs both my visual art and my poetry.
I see art as a powerful force, capable of surviving civilizations and speaking to the human spirit across time. In an era dominated by digital technology, I believe in the enduring power of handmade art to touch the soul and awaken the spirit. My goal is to create works that bring a sense of wonder, joy, and mystery into people’s lives, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and perhaps see the world from a new perspective.
