My abstract paintings reflect the observable world, but from a perspective that comes with its own idiosyncratic set of rules. I want a composition that abstractly reflects the way I see the natural order of things, which is inherently complex and multifaceted. I aim to capture this complexity through a process of exploration and experimentation.

I conjure images through the act of painting, striving to create a web of individual, articulated forms that interact in a dynamic and hybridized manner. The intersecting, layered, and looping contours, along with the strategic use of color and line, work together to generate a sense of movement and mood. Each decision I make—what to retain and what to eliminate—becomes a vital part of this ongoing dialogue between form and formlessness.

This process of addition and subsequent negation mirrors the natural order of creation and metamorphosis, where one state evolves into another, leaving behind traces of its previous form. The remnants of the past remain visible and integral, contributing to the evolving narrative of what is to come. In this manner, the painting reveals itself to me as I work, unfolding layer by layer until a coherent expression emerges.

The work feels complete when it embodies balance between complexity and clarity, where every element contributes to the overall harmony and resonance of the piece, reflecting the natural world's beauty and unpredictability.

The title of the work usually comes to me after I sit with the finished piece for a while. It’s during this period of reflection that I discern the underlying themes and emotions that the painting embodies, allowing the title to emerge organically and encapsulate the essence of the work.
