About

          Influenced by my background in psychology, I see art as a transformative tool for emotional exploration. This perspective drives my focus on the dualities of human relationships—being both beneficial and harmful—which I explore through a combination of sculpture, photography, and painting. My process often begins with sculpture, using materials such as resin, foam, clay, and joint compound to create dimensional, abstract forms. I then translate these forms through photography, capturing shifts in perspective and lighting before fully realizing them in oil paintings, where composition, color, and texture deepen their emotional resonance.  

          My work builds on the philosophy of artists like Rothko and Kandinsky, who saw color as more than visual—a language that evokes emotion and meaning. Kandinsky believed that color resonates like music, each hue carrying a psychological and spiritual weight: yellow as energetic, blue as reflective, red as powerful. He viewed painting as an emotional language, capable of shaping the viewer’s experience beyond words. Similarly, I use color intentionally to heighten emotional intensity, emphasizing complex relationship dynamics such as warmth versus tension or tenderness versus volatility. In doing so, color acts as an expressive force and a bridge between abstract emotions and something tangible. The forms and colors in my paintings invite viewers in, allowing them to see themselves in the work—both literally and metaphorically—encouraging a personal, emotional connection. In this shared space of reflection, art becomes a bridge between personal and collective experience, offering a path toward understanding, connection, and healing.
