ARTIST STATEMENT & BACKGROUND
My portraits pay tribute to the human experience and what is found within. There's nothing in the universe quite like the power of a look when you lock eyes with another human being, and feel connection, there's an unexplainable exchange of information and energy through the eyes in these moments.
I aim to explore portraiture in non conventional ways, to blur the borders between painting and sculpture by incorporating different mediums, materials, and techniques. The materials and imperfections present in my work serve as a reminder of the humanity behind the work. Their rawness contrasts to the overly polished art dominating the popular art space in a world where industrial production is heavily involved with art products. I believe art that is infused with the human touch has a stronger energy to it .I believe that art should not and must not completely depart from the enduring value of traditional craftsmanship and the idea of the artist being as much a manual laborer as an intellectual.
