Artist Statement

My art delves into the realm of the unconscious mind by decontextualizing elements and presenting them in a surrealistic manner. My pieces, which are inspired by my background in design, aim to evoke a sense of both unfamiliarity and recognition through their “ordered chaos” aesthetic.

My creative process begins with collecting a diverse array of images, whether sourced from thrift stores or online, using only those in the public domain to avoid any copyright issues. These images are then manipulated and transformed until they are unrecognizable, serving as the foundation for my work.

Through the use of multiple layers, both physically and metaphorically, I continuously develop, destroy, and rebuild my pieces, covering and uncovering elements as I go. This process, which is both experimental and intuitive, allows me to create art that is unique and ever-evolving. The final result can range from highly detailed to minimalistic, with the process being just as important as the outcome.
