About

In my artwork, I seek to explore the beauty found in imperfection and the passage of time, drawing inspiration from the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi and the ancient art of Raku pottery. My ink paintings are a reflection of the natural and the transient, capturing moments of beauty in their most raw and unrefined form. Through gestural and kinetic marks, I aim to evoke a sense of calm, acceptance, and an appreciation for the humble and the imperfect.

In contrast, my portrait paintings embody a meticulous search for perfection and detail. These works delve into the intricacies of human expression and identity, striving for an exacting realism that stands in stark opposition to the spontaneity of my ink paintings. The duality of my practice—embracing both the imperfect and the precise—mirrors the complexity of life itself, where moments of unguarded beauty coexist with those of careful creation.

Through this diverse approach, I invite viewers to experience the full spectrum of artistic expression, from the serene to the sublime.
