ABOUT: “From painting how I felt to painting how I want to feel.”
Discover a passionate, self-taught artist whose emotional journey has evolved into a vibrant collection of contemporary work.
First known for raw portrait paintings defined by rough brushstrokes, bold contrast, and a distinctive color palette. These early pieces explored the many layers of human expression. They were guided by his fire from within and the desire to express that often heavy energy. Powerful portraits became stories and texture became language.
Over time my creative path shifted. I moved from painting how I felt to painting how I want to feel. This shift opened the door to my current world of vivid gradients filled with color, optimism, and light. Each piece offers a moment of calm, clarity, and brightness, inviting you to pause, wonder, and lose yourself within it.
