Artist Statement

I create art that begins with my own curiosity and passions, but my goal is that it resonates with others. Making art is not only a personal outlet, but also a way to connect with people through shared experiences, memories, and emotions. Whether someone finds beauty, nostalgia, or inspiration in my work, I want them to feel like they’ve stepped into a space I’ve created with intention and care.
Art is a constant presence in my life, and I see it as both a calling and a career path I am committed to pursuing. Experimenting with texture and new compositions allow me to translate ideas into forms that others can see and feel, and it challenges me to grow in both skill and vision. I work primarily with acrylics and ink, and I take a lot of my inspiration from contemporary artists like Chris Long, Josh Hernandez, and Rustem Gomez. Much of my work involves landscapes and cityscapes referenced from both the physical world and video games.
The themes I return to reflect the things that inspire me most. The serenity and vastness of landscapes, the satisfying structural rhythm of architecture, the feeling and expression of music, and the universal experience of love. These subjects give me endless material to explore, blending personal meaning with cultural significance. I create work that is not only visually engaging but also layered with connections to some of the world's most powerful social bonds.
