I paint thresholds – between space and atmosphere, land and memory, conjured through sensation, emotion, and immersion in the medium. Painting, as both process and result, is that threshold – the potentiality of space where layers, marks, and brushwork emerge as an ecosystem of its own, a space of dialogue between the ephemeral and the everlasting.
Drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western philosophies as my paintings traverse this interplay, my work is essentially connected to the principles of both abstract and landscape painting, while simultaneously rooted in its alchemical heritage and expressive sensibility to its material and evocative possibilities.
Working primarily in oil and water based mediums, the surfaces are built slowly and intuitively in a search for painting as an ambiguous yet precise space of emotions, atmospheres and conjured spaces as a dialogue pointing and expanding beyond itself. Balancing chance with deliberate control, my painting process relies on intuition, spontaneity, and experimentation as I am interested in how the external space affects the internal one and paint from where that intersection is.
