Artist Statement
As an artist and scientist, I have discovered the immense value that analytical and creative thinking can bring to one another. Both art and science are fueled by our desire to comprehend ourselves and the world we live in. By creating art, I have gained more self-awareness and a deeper understanding of myself. I believe that art, as a form of self-expression, is the ultimate form of self-revelation, as it originates from within and reflects our innermost being. Through this self-revelation, we can learn to accept ourselves and experience a sense of liberation.
My artwork is often philosophical in nature and reflects a lighthearted and playful demeanor. I find that simplicity is essential, not only in my art but also in my life. By reducing complexity, we can restore order and harmony.
Inspiration surrounds us at every turn, and my love for jazz and classical music often influences my creative process. Whether working with traditional mediums like oil or exploring digital media and creative coding, I strive to produce work that uplifts and connects with the present moment while encouraging playfulness in our daily lives.
