ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
As an artist, I produce mainly two- dimensional works such as drawing, painting, and digital drawing. I am very interested in representing the intimacies of human existence in my works, which is why I typically choose real-life objects and bodies to portray. The source of the imagery I use in my work is people and things that have actual value in my life. I don’t need the viewer of my work to understand the relationship I have with the subject, but it is important for me as an artist in order to successfully participate in the artistic process. I usually choose muted colors to create a feeling of softness in these moments. Color choice is important in my work because it is a way to provoke certain feelings without distracting from the narrative of the work as a whole. My primary goal as an artist is to express the small significances of life on Earth.
