a little bit about my art

I found art to be an essential tool of self-reflection. It is a portal to discovering new meanings and crafting new definitions in the world. Painting and drawing help me understand myself and allow me to ask more questions.

My art revolves around human connections and beliefs, many times inspired by ancient and occult symbolism and other times it is based on journeys taken internally into other corners of existence. The process has become increasingly intuitive. Research and art happen simultaneously.

When creating art, I feel closer to the meaning of things. I believe we are guided to ask questions, while holding all the answers.
