artist statement:
my work is a true celebration of self-expression, transformation, and radical self love. through vibrant colors, psychedelic imagery, and introspective storytelling, i create a visual language that challenges mainstream norms while embracing the beauty of individuality. each piece i create is an exploration of the inner workings of the mind-heart-body connection. i like to journey inward into the dark shadows of emotionality and thought. my work is an invitation to see ourselves beyond societal expectations and standards.
rooted in themes of vibrancy and self acceptance, my art merges surrealism with emotional depth, weaving together bold aesthetics and intimate reflections. i draw inspiration from our organic, beautiful bodies, the vastness of the human psyche, and the ever-shifting nature of existence. whether it’s through dynamic figures reclaiming space or dreamlike landscapes of inner worlds, my work seeks to ignite curiosity, provoke thought, and encourage a fearless embrace of authenticity as human beings.
art, in whatever format i am exploring, is both a mirror and a portal— an opportunity to reflect on who we are while envisioning what we can become… and then choosing to embark on that journey.

my work is a meditation on existence itself— what it means to arrive on planet earth without permission, but to stay here by choice.
i believe art is both a question and an answer, a bridge between the known and the unknowable. i like to dance with the paradox of how life can be both arbitrary and intentional, how love is both fragile and infinite.; how experience and pursing joy is a divine and rebellious act, especially in a world that promotes division through fear.
every work of art i create whether it be decadent visuals, a savory poem, a rich performance, or even a little bit of it all— is always an invitation to be present with ourselves, to feel, to chase the light and to tango with our shadows.. and perhaps to even laugh with them.
i am but a speck on this earth. my short and precious time on this planet is quaint in the grand scheme of it all. but— for as long as i am living, i will find a way to experience love again and again.
for every piece is rooted in love.
