Creating a pictorial space that mirrors the world, my abstract paintings use forms and colors as materials to articulate the invisible aspects of life. The forms come from familiar places, such as my studio, my apartment, and my desk; when I combine and remove parts of them, they inevitably take on a strange shape, becoming more inherently uncomfortable, abstract, and organic. The contrast between earthy and vibrant colors, along with marks that are either spontaneous or built up over time, repeatedly generate contrasting elements like anxiety and humor, conflict and absurdity, and seriousness and playfulness. This serves both as a process of finding balance within the invisible conflicts present in all relationships and as a purpose, in itself, to convey these dualities.
