Artist Statement
My paintings are an emotional response to the world as I feel it—not just as I see it. Working in an expressive, impressionistic style, I use bold, painterly strokes to convey the energy that pulses through all living things. Whether it’s the subtle movement of wind through trees or the gaze of an animal that feels like a silent conversation, I paint to translate that unspoken energy into form, color, and rhythm.
Nature is my sanctuary and my source. I find divinity in the natural world—its stillness, its chaos, its constant transformation. When I stand before a landscape or lock eyes with an animal, I sense a message, a presence, a story waiting to be told. My work is my way of listening and responding.
Man-made things rarely move me in the same way—except for the weathered beauty of old European buildings, particularly those in Italy, France, and England. Their worn facades and time-stamped textures echo the organic layers of nature that I find so captivating.
At the heart of my practice is a belief that we are all connected—creatures, landscapes, sky, sea, and soul. I paint not to document, but to honor the life-force that we share. My goal is not realism, but resonance: for the viewer to feel something stirring beneath the surface, as I did in the act of creation.
