Echoes of an Inner Atlas
For years, I studied the intricate landscapes of thought. Now, I map the territories of the soul. This collection, Echoes of an Inner Atlas, is born from that same impulse to explore what lies unseen.
These paintings are my research into the topography of feeling—the sudden weight of a memory, the resonant frequency of silence, the sharp, bright line of a new understanding. They are not illustrations of emotions, but the emotions themselves, rendered in the abstract language of pigment and texture.
Each piece is a raw, unrepeatable discovery; a fragment of a cartography that I believe is unique to each of us. This is not just art to be viewed, but a quiet dialogue to be felt. An invitation to navigate your own inner world.
Mutable Memory
A memory isn't a single, perfect image. It's a battleground. It's the scar that remains and the ghost that whispers. This tension has always been at the heart of my work.
My process is physical. I layer, I scrape, I search on the canvas. Each painting is an excavation, a struggle to hold onto a feeling that I know is there but can't quite grasp. The flashes of light are those moments of near-success, when a memory comes into sharp focus before dissolving again into pure feeling.
What's left behind are these paintings. They are honest artifacts of that search, and they hold a simple truth: the past is never truly past. It breathes and changes inside of us, every single day.
Lighting Events
My work always begins with light. Not as a subject to be painted, but as a living presence in my studio. I am fascinated by the small, everyday moments: the way light streams through the window and reveals the dust in theair, making the invisible visible. Or how it falls across a surface and seems to change its very substance.
I call this series Lighting Events because each work is my attempt to hold onto one of these fleeting moments. For me, they are not just optical phenomena; they are emotional. They mirror those rare flashes of inner clarity, when a feeling becomes sharp and defined, when an old memory is suddenly cast in a new light.
So these works are not pictures of light. They are quiet spaces. They are invitations to notice the subtle shifts, both outside and within us. To take a moment, to be still, and to see what the light reveals in you.
Studies in Motion
Not every idea arrives fully formed. Most begin as a quiet whisper, a flicker of movement. The works in Studies in Motion are my attempt to have that first, unfiltered conversation with an idea.
They happen when I trust my hand to move before my mind has a chance to object. It’s a raw, physical dialogue on the canvas. Sometimes the charcoal leaves an honest scar; sometimes a wash of color just whispers. In these moments, my only job is to listen, to honor the truth of that first impulse without any need for perfection.
So these pieces are not final answers. They are the source code. The heartbeat before the body is formed. They are for anyone who feels the beauty not in the finished story, but in the raw, honest energy of the first word, that moment of pure possibility.
