Artist Statement

Ranging from expressive depictions of cats to abstract interpretations of lemons, my work embraces a wide spectrum of subjects. This diversity reflects my passion for exploring the interplay between the ordinary and the unexpected to convey a story. I aim to create a whimsical yet familiar experience that draws viewers in, leaving them with a sense of wonder and curiosity.

Why are the cats screaming? Why is there a lemon? What does this combination signify? These questions linger in the minds of my audience, sparking deeper engagement with the artwork.

Guided by the principle that shadows are cool and highlights are warm, I employ a diverse palette to create harmony and tension through these elements.  My interpretation of color is unique in the sense that I use the color yellow as a unifying foundation. Infusing each painting with vibrancy and cohesion, the subjects flow seamlessly together in a collective body. My ultimate goal is to evoke curiosity, joy, and a renewed appreciation for representational painting in a contemporary setting.
