Each work begins in silence — the first gestures of paint on canvas are the foundation of everything that follows.
I explore textures with palette knife and brush, layering fragments of paint, scraping and rebuilding, until the surface holds both presence and absence.
What may appear accidental is often the result of repeated acts of control and release. These early moments are where the work’s character is born. The studio is where the raw elements of inspiration transform into tangible art. It’s a space where initial concepts are carefully measured, accepted, or broken, then boldly layered with thick and rich color, capturing my energy at those specific moments.
