Artist Statement

My work is a dialogue between the past and present, a way to engage viewers in an unspoken conversation about identity, otherness, and the power of culture in shaping our experiences. Through intense, brooding expressions, my art invites viewers into an intimate exchange, challenging them to confront the complexities of the human condition. My pieces feature oil sticks as the sole medium, a unique and distinctive mark-making technique that creates the textural components encapsulated in my work. 

Through a snapshot of a single moment, onlookers consider all the realities…the experiences, both behind and beyond.
