As an contemporary artist committed to weaving a tapestry of composition, texture, and tone, I embark on each new piece with a clear, defined goal in mind. While I grant myself the liberty to experiment, this exploration is always tethered to a particular artistic objective. Whether it's tonal, compositional, or textural, there's invariably a plan in progress that guides my creative journey.
The selection of subject matter originates from a wellspring of developed ideas and burgeoning thoughts. I liken this process to assembling a mood board where concepts gradually take shape. I diligently log these budding ideas, allowing them to evolve into artworks. Sometimes, a fleeting thought rapidly gains momentum, crystallizing into a finished piece.
The scenes that captivate my artistic attention are often discovered in the infancy of an idea’s development. During this phase, I experiment with various compositional frameworks through quick digital sketches, affording me the opportunity to see things from diverse perspectives. On occasion, the narrative or essence of the work takes the reins, steering the direction of the composition.
Inspiration springs from the vibrant interplay of colors, shapes, and textures, whether experienced individually or as a harmonious confluence. Each element holds the potential to ignite my creativity and set the stage for new artistic endeavors.
What distinguishes my work is the innovative fusion of painting techniques with composite photography, methodically blending these disciplines within a single canvas. Some creations emerge through layered building, while others unfold through traditional execution. This amalgamation of methods imparts a distinctive character to my work, allowing each piece to resonate with its own unique voice.
