My work is primarily in the medium of paintings, which are heavily informed by my research with photography. Sound has become a new media in which I am experimenting with new palettes and colors.
My paintings reference landscape painting of both Western and Eastern tradition and are informed by my scientific background that questions the relationships of mankind and his environment, the responsibility of the observer to the observation. As markers of time, cycles, and the materiality of objects, the paintings connect the vastness of visual culture (painting, graphic novels, video games) to reach a deeper potential for humankind to understand its responsibility to the earth, to each other, and to their body and mind.
The industrial revolution has, without a doubt, completely transformed the way humans perceive and interact with their surroundings, both natural and synthetic. My work in painting, photography, and sound is about looking deeper at those effects and reconnecting the awareness that has been dissociated.
