My work tends to focus on personal growth and spiritual wealth; it takes a personal view on the development of myself as an artist and as a person. The subject matter of each piece determines progress by going from simple-minimalistic to complex-metamorphic representations of the human face. Simple forms can be difficult to grasp, just like complicated forms, hence, The Introspection, a triptych, can be communicated from the left to the right, and vise versa. The tones of white, black, and gray establish a suprematist quality, suggest notions of distinctness and rigor, and unify the gradation of intellectual growth. When I made the piece, The Introspection, I wanted other people to understand and force an engagement with a question of their tastes and to examine the power of the physical manifestation of the image to alter its impression on a spectator. The reason I chose 30x40 cardboard was because the bigger painting has more authority because of its relationship to a spectator viewing it in a space, such as something one cannot take in with one glance.
As one can see, I like experimenting with my medium of choice, eventually combining crafts with painting. It is important to my idea that I use mixed media because it gives my work more expressiveness and precision. Using threads, I try to help my work transfigure into a mirage feeling that we all have while growing and comprehending ourselves. The nature of my work frees my imagination and provides many opportunities for experiments on my fantasies.
My photographs are what I term "true photography," which means that I like photographs that do not need to be digitally modified. In fact, my photographs are inspired by the paintings of Caillebotte's work, with a precise knowledge of composition and golden proportion that adds movement. A strictness of composition, viewpoint, lightning, etc. - this traditional knowledge can be visible in my work.
