Mission Statement

I’ve been creating art since childhood, driven by a fascination with the unseen and often overlooked patterns beyond what meets the eye. Nature’s patterns, symbolic representation and hidden geometries have shaped my creative direction for the past decade. With work rooted in romanticism, visual storytelling and abstract expression, I creatively explore ideas coming from an era of hyperindependence and the risk hyperautomation brings to ones innate and intuitive creative abilities.

Often disillusioned by the lack of wonder and collective imagination in society, my work is a call to remember our power as creators. One spark is enough to awaken another—and from that a movement begins.

Wearing Many Hats

My creative path has been nonlinear, having graduated with a Fine Art degree with experience in “Old Masters” style traditional painting and drawing craftsmanship under my belt, I have also contributed a few non-profit and for-profit enterprises and became a senior data engineer not long after, with the aspiration for bringing grand visions to life. These combination of skills have allowed me use them effectively as a visual artist. I work on projects that speak to me aesthetically and align with my style of combining old/classic visuals with postmodern/futuristic elements.
