STATEMENT

In the interstitial space where human anatomy converges with architectural anatomy, my work finds its pulse. With each composition, I strive to capture the elusive spirit that animates both the corporeal vessel and the constructs it inhabits. My canvases are not mere paintings; they are vivisections of space and form, revealing the sinews and bones that underpin our built environment.

This is not an exercise in representation but a revelation of essence. The oil and canvas serve as scalpel and sutures, peeling back the layers of urban exteriors to expose a shared anatomy with the human body. The starkness of concrete is softened by the intimacy of flesh, the coldness of steel imbued with the warmth of blood. My artistic exploration does not shy away from the raw and visceral; instead, it embraces these elements as the most honest expression of the unified nature of our existence.

Rejecting the traditional dichotomy of structure and soul, my art posits a bold synthesis. It is a conceptual and visual alchemy that transforms the way we perceive our man-made landscapes—not as mere habitats, but as extensions of our very being. The resulting pieces are as much a map of the human condition as they are manifestos of our innate compulsion to mark the inert expanses with the indelible signature of our existence.
