STATEMENT:"There’s a certain magic to be found in our built environment—where edges meet, light and colors converge, and surfaces create unique textures and patterns.One freezing cold day when I was very small, a pipe burst in the ceiling of our little apartment. Water was leaking everywhere—filling the overhead light fixtures and oozing from wall switches and outlets. Then, a few weeks after the mishap, cracks started to appear, and the painted plaster began to discolor and peel. I’m sure my family was quite alarmed, but I just found it curious and fascinating. I can remember lying in bed, picking out interesting designs and connections I would discover in the decay on the bedroom ceiling. That childhood experience set me on a lifelong obsession—searching for interesting and unusual abstract shapes, color plays, contrasts, complex structural details, and geometries that peak our curiosity, inviting our eyes to explore and journey through and beyond. The art I make today is an attempt to capture the audacity and ambition of this phenomena—both observed, and also through abstract creations informed by of my imagination. It’s a rediscovery of who I am, rooted in the past, but always looking forward, excited to see what’s next and where the next intersection might lead."
