artist statement.
Painting is more than a form of self-expression, it's an extension of my self-development, a practice that mirrors my evolution as a soul.
Picasso once said, “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.” This philosophy has been a guiding force in my creative journey. My early works were deeply rooted in realism, classical forms, and structured compositions, where I practiced the traditional techniques that define beauty and harmony. But as I grew, both as an artist and as a person, I began to feel the need to break away from structure, which led me into the realm of surrealism, and eventually, into simpler, more abstract forms. Each shift was more than just an artistic evolution, it was an expansion of my understanding of life and my role in it.
The Role of Light and Spiritual Exploration
One of the most profound lessons I learned from my painting Master was the concept of light - how it shaped forms, how it's cold and warm, how it conveys emotions. But beyond the technical, light began to reveal itself as the essence of life itself. As a philosophical and ever-curious Sagittarian, my exploration of Vedic Hinduism, amongst other traditions, deepened my perception of light. More than an element of composition, it is a metaphor for awareness, transcendence, and connection to something greater than ourselves.
​
Through my paintings, I explore the infinite, the eternal dance between the tangible and the metaphysical. With each creation, I uncover new layers of thought, emotion, and understanding of the unseen.
Themes in My Work
At its core, my work is an ongoing dialogue between the inner self and the vastness of existence, expressed through various stages of exploration:
-
Identity and freedom: the search for authenticity, the breaking of societal and personal boundaries, and the power of defining who we are at our core.
-
Beauty as a reflection of the inner self: a reminder that our external perception is a manifestation of our internal reality. Beauty, whether in nature, people, or experiences, is a direct mirror of our state of mind and soul.
-
Sexuality and spirituality as one: often seen as opposing forces, these energies are, in truth, deeply connected. Desire, in its purest form, is an expression of love, a bridge between the physical and the transcendental. The sacred and the sensual are not separate but intertwined.
-
The oneness, the interconnectedness of all things: just as light exists as both particle and wave, everything in the universe operates magically in unison. From the earth that breathes in seasons, to emotions, hormones, cultural trends, and financial markets moving in cycles - all of existence follows rhythmic patterns, revealing the oneness of all things.
Art as a Tool for Transformation
Art has the power to evoke deep emotions, provoke thought, and touch the subconscious in ways that words cannot. It is an energy exchange - a silent conversation between the artist and the observer, each interpreting the work through their own lens of experiences and emotions.
Through my work, I hope to do more than just create visually compelling pieces. I want to stimulate thought, challenge perspectives, and inspire a journey inward. If a single painting of mine can awaken a dormant emotion, shift a belief, or spark a moment of self-awareness, then I have fulfilled my purpose. My greatest aspiration is to contribute, even in the smallest way, to raising the collective vibration of this world.
I specialize in contemporary fine art; expressive, surreal, and full of light.
