My work explores the quiet order found in everyday materials: weathered wood, rusted metal, concrete, and industrial textures. Through careful observation, I seek to reveal the beauty in imperfection and the transformation that occurs as materials age and decay. Each composition is a study in balance—vertical and horizontal lines echoing the fundamental directions of our universe.
Whether painting or photographing, I am drawn to simplicity, structure, and the subtle stories told by surfaces. My art invites viewers to pause, look closely, and discover the hidden harmonies that shape our environment.
Project Statement
In my most recent works, I engage in a dialogue between photography and painting, intervening directly upon the surfaces I depict. Each work begins with a photograph of a weathered wall, door, or industrial material—sites marked by time, decay, and the silent histories of their environment. Onto these captured surfaces, I digitally introduce painterly gestures: lines, marks, or spattered “painting” that both disrupt and harmonize with the underlying textures.
This process is an act of collaboration with the material world. The pictorial interventions do not seek to conceal the original surface, but to amplify its presence—highlighting the interplay between natural imperfection and intentional mark-making. Geometry, balance, and the Golden Ratio continue to guide my compositions, but now the boundary between documentation and creation becomes porous.
Through these works, I invite viewers to consider the layered nature of perception: how meaning emerges from the meeting of observation and imagination, of found structure and artistic intervention. They area meditation on transformation, resilience, and the quiet poetry that arises when the hand of the artist meets the silent testimony of timeworn surfaces.
