In a perpetual state of evolution, my artistic practice thrives on experimentation, traversing diverse techniques while consistently grappling with recurring themes that linger in my consciousness. Themes such as self-awareness, the boundaries of the body and mind, and the perpetual journey of discovery captivate my thoughts. The abyss of meditation and self-inquiry, like an irresistible gravitational force, absorbs my attention, sparking fascination and drawing me within its depths.
Themes:
My exploration extends beyond the confines of the self to encompass the intricate relationship between individuals and their environments. Observing how surroundings influence us and, conversely, our impact on them fuels my artistic inquiry. Nature, the ultimate masterpiece, has been my greatest teacher, offering profound life lessons. It is an unending source of inspiration, content, and materials—a timeless entity, simultaneously perfect in its imperfections, perpetually supportive, and in constant flux, much like the wabi-sabi essence of the present moment.
Methodologies:
My conceptual approach is reflexive, akin to making an idea observe itself—a process resembling the merging of Escher's intricate designs, where the beginning and end intertwine. This reflective process manifests in techniques such as printing paper on paper, creating a spiral narrative that echoes the essence of my artistic journey.
My methodology is intuitive and spontaneous, with ideas demanding immediate realization. I uncover inspiration in spaces, forging connections between seemingly disparate elements almost instantly. Self-inquiry, facilitated by meditation, acts as a grounding force, minimizing distractions and fostering a focused creative exploration.
Techniques:
My artistic repertoire spans various techniques, each chosen deliberately to echo the thematic resonance of reflection:
Printmaking (sun printing, etching, linocut, experimental printing)
Painting
Collage
Sculpture
Space manipulation
My Artistic Scope:
I consider myself a romantic, driven by an intrinsic desire to showcase the world through my unique lens. My purpose extends beyond visual representation; I aim to reveal and awaken in others the beauty inherent in everyday life, fostering experiential connections with the profound. Through my work, I aspire to unveil the hidden poetry within our nature, highlighting the beauty that persists even amid the complexities of existence.
In the midst of artistic expression, I find an indescribable joy, satisfaction, and completeness that words fail to capture. My passion for creating is akin to a blazing fire, and it is through my art that I endeavor to convey the depth of my emotions and perspectives to the world.
