Artist Statement | Why It Looks Like This
I don’t chase trends or paint crowd-pleasers. I build work that lasts. I turn ordinary moments into visuals that stop you mid-scroll—or mid-stride. Whether it's a photorealistic painting that makes you look twice, or kiln-fired glass and collage that plays with texture and composition, everything I create is made to hold space and earn attention. There’s story, structure, and strategy behind each piece—and not a single brushstroke is filler.
