About
Born 1984, New York, NY
Lives/Works: Washington Heights, New York
My artistic process is a blend of experimentation and introspection. I often incorporate mixed media, utilizing acrylics and collage to deconstruct and reconstruct reality. Through layers of paint and found imagery, I seek to unveil the underlying truths obscured by the facade of spectacle and distraction.
In my paintings, I explore the intersection of personal conscience and societal values, juxtaposing destruction with construction, synthesis with analysis. It's a discourse on the fluidity of meaning and the subjective nature of perception.
While my work may not convey overt messages, it is inherently communicative, inviting viewers to contemplate the intricacies of existence and creation. Each piece is a reflection of the tension between production and creation, challenging conventional notions of art and aesthetics.
