Process
Inner
Landscape
My works are self-portraits and stories
of psychological transformations,
where abstraction and form collide
and combine.
They are self-observations of inner chaos
and of my hope for consciousness.
Each piece is a chapter in my ongoing
journey toward self-awareness.

Where daydreaming meets research, my messy side comes out to play, and discoveries disguised as errors reveal themselves.

Texture is my language.
Feelings I struggle
to put into words,
emerge loud or timid,
as wounded surfaces,
or a whispering glaze.
An
Affair
With
Atmosphere
Painting atmospheres is a vibe.
Glazes,
sticky or runny,
shiny or dull,
lure me in.
Push.
Pull.
Hide to reveal.
Love.
Despair.
Rebel.
Withdrawal.
All of it held
in the weight and warmth
of a translucent layer.
Canvas
AS
Mirror
My favorite pieces
are the ones that seduce me,
and make me surrender to flow.
Early concepts
give way to instinct.
Paint becomes
Master of Ceremonies,
luring my brush
this way and that,
softly, harshly,
lifting, slamming.
In those moments,
my canvas becomes a mirror,
reflecting hidden states
I may not recognize
until months after
I call the work finished.
Yeah, those are my favorites.

My Truth
I have been painting for more than twenty years, and meditating for more than fifteen, yet it has only been recently that these two practices have started to merge as I have come to find more of myself in both disciplines.
These days, a good painting session begins with me sitting in meditation for at least thirty minutes, long enough for silence to seep in and for my thoughts to settle. After that, I spend time in what I have come to call consciousness sketching, where I create small mixed media studies inspired by the meditation session before it.
This ritual helps calm my urge to control, opening me to more honest, intuitive expressions that welcome discovery. By the time I step into my studio to paint, I am ready to find my truth on the canvas. It rarely arrives fully abstract or fully formed. It tends to appear somewhere in between. What does that say about me? What does it reveal about you?

Before painting, I sit in meditation long enough for silence to seep in and for thought to settle. Then I move into what I call consciousness sketching — small studies born from the meditation before stepping into the studio to paint. Somewhere between instinct and awareness, my truth begins to surface on the canvas.
