ARTIST'S STATEMENT | 2025
Art, for me, is more than just sculpture or applying pigment to canvas; it's a vital form of therapy, a way to navigate the often-disorienting currents of our world. In the act of creation, I find a space to process the complexities, anxieties, and fleeting moments that define our contemporary existence. Through color, texture, and form, I externalize the internal landscape, giving tangible shape to the intangible. Each brushstroke becomes a step in understanding, a way to find clarity amidst the confusion and to ultimately make sense of my place within it.
The feel of the brush in my hand, the smell of the paint, the focused concentration required. These ground me in the present moment, pulling me away from the mental chatter and external noise. It's a tactile conversation, a direct interaction with materials that allows for a different kind of understanding, one that bypasses the limitations of language.
Ultimately, my art is not just representations of the world, but rather a record of my personal journey through it, a visual diary of navigating its inherent complexities.
