A Fascination with Light
Artist Statement
I work primarily in oil painting and create drawings in ink and pencil, with a focus on bold figures, nudes, nature, and still life. My work is driven by a fascination with light — how it touches subjects, shapes forms, and casts reflective shadows. Whether in the curves of the human body or the delicate petals of a flower, light and shadow become central characters in my compositions, revealing subtle nuances and creating moments of quiet intensity.
The figures in my paintings, often depicted in proud and bold movements, exude strength and presence. I aim to capture not just the physicality of the human form but its emotional depth, exploring how the body can convey both vulnerability and power. In my still life and nature studies, I focus on the beauty of the world around us, paying attention to both the grand gestures and the intricate details that are so easily overlooked—the way light hits a flower petal, the glint of a reflective surface, or the fleeting beauty of a passing moment.
I believe that beauty can be found in the smallest of details, as much as in the quick, passing glance of things around us. My work invites the viewer to pause and indulge in these moments I’ve captured—those brief instances where light, form, and shadow come together in harmony. Each piece is an exploration of what is seen and felt in the present, capturing the essence of a moment that often escapes our notice.
