Artist Statement
My three-dimensional paintings explore timely narratives, making sculptural elements that relate to humanity's emotional reaction to form and color. These concept-driven works are to be considered both figurative and abstract simultaneously, merging painting, sculpture, and installation while incorporating elements of sacred geometries and divine proportions.
This collection of three-dimensional paintings explores the vast, ever-expanding frontier of our universe. Drawing inspiration from my fascination with lost ancient knowledge, newly discovered planetary systems, unexplained aerial phenomena, and the striking parallels between the microcosm and macrocosm, these works venture to question humanity's place and purpose within the larger cosmic context.
