Painter
Expressing Philosophy Through Color and Form
I create images for meditation to enrich the lives of my collectors and followers.
Painting is my Life Practice.
Painting is a medium through which I explore myself and the world because it can express the full range of the human experience (effable and ineffable) and fields of knowledge (rational and irrational) through imagery. Rather than just an art form, it is a vehicle I use to navigate the mind and culture. My images are meant for meditation and personal interpretation. They are usually accompanied by a text of the research I had done during their making.
