His signature elements – beautifully rendered forms, archetypal symbolism, Alien Deco designs – bridge the past and future, magic and technology.He currently lives in Portland, OR.“I describe my style as Magic Futurism, which combines elements of science fiction and technology with myth, occultism, and fantasy. The emotion I try to elicit in a viewer is Wonder, motivating them to go about the rest of their day inspired and thoughtful. I seek to understand the kaleidoscopic human condition, and that which lies beneath the surface of the everyday.I view art as a form of magical technology that can transform the way we see and interact with the world. My work is inspired by the belief that art has the power to connect us to the mysteries of the universe and unlock hidden potentials within ourselves.My creative process is rooted in the principles of a magical practice, as I seek to imbue each painting with a sense of intention and energy. I use a variety of approaches to create intricate and detailed compositions, drawing on symbolism and myth to create images that resonate with deeper meanings.Through my artwork, I explore the ways in which art can be used as a tool for personal and collective transformation. My paintings often feature archetypal symbols and mystical landscapes, which I use to explore themes of identity, growth, and transcendence. By using these symbols, I hope to inspire viewers to look beyond the surface of things and discover the hidden potential that lies within themselves.Ultimately, my goal is to create a sense of connection between the viewer and the transformative power of art. Through my work, I hope to inspire a deeper understanding of the ways in which art can be used to unlock the mysteries of the universe and transform our lives.”
