Artist statement

As a self-taught artist, I’ve learned to explore my creativity in a variety of ways.

My primary line of work is the translation into visual compositions of primitive archetypes, and how these help shape the collective unconscious.

All of my processes are inspired by daily spiritual practices and commitment to self-discovery through awareness. My work is the result of an effort to comprehend the deeper meaning of our human existence and transcend the illusions of apparently chaotic and random manifestations of life.

The freedom derived from mixing a wide variety of materials and techniques allows my research on human evolution to be deepened, developed and expressed.

I share my creative process and the strong opinions that permeate my practice in a new series of weekly articles called ‘Notes on Art, Notes on Life’. In this series, I develop my understanding of how the creative process informs not only our work, but also, and most importantly, our views and opinions.
