Artist Statement

My work explores the unstable terrain between figuration and abstraction, where the body becomes an image; and the image, a site of rupture. Trained in traditional fine arts and now working across digital and generative media, I approach mimesis not as a technique of replication, but as a field of inquiry: a way to examine how we see, believe, and fail to understand what is shown.

Much of my practice orbits around the human figure; often broken, folded, or subsumed by painterly gestures, digital distortions, or AI hallucinations. I am drawn to the edge of legibility, where forms dissolve into fabric, glitch, or viscera, and where the viewer is compelled to project meaning into visual uncertainty. These projections, I believe, reveal more about the viewer’s cognitive and cultural filters than about the work itself.

I am particularly interested in the dialogue between traditional media and post-photographic processes. My physical works fuse oil, pastel, and wet media in layered, organic constructions. Digitally, I manipulate rendered, composited, or generated forms through glitch techniques, Photoshop interventions, and procedural 3D methods. Across both modes, my intent remains constant: to generate images that resist passive viewing and instead provoke confrontation with perception, belief, and embodiment.

My images do not seek resolution, but oscillation. They invite viewers to inhabit moments of visual and symbolic instability, where the act of looking becomes an act of questioning.
