As an oil painter, I see my work as an act of exploration. I am inspired by the great outliers of history, thinkers and artists who followed a timeless golden thread of inquiry. My paintings are a visual record of my own journey into the landscapes of the mind. Trained in classical techniques, I use this historical language to bridge the rational world with the realm of dreams, the unconscious, and the "Other." Each painting is a quest to glimpse a greater, more unified truth, offering a space for viewers to reflect on the mysteries just beyond the surface of the familiar.
