"You will find as you go through life, that if you ask what a thing means, a picture, or music, or whatever, you may learn something about the people you ask, but as for learning about the thing you seek to know, you will have to sense it in the end through your own experience, so that you had better save your energy and not go through the world asking what cannot be communicated in words."

 

These words from photographer Alfred Stieglitz capture the essence of my approach as a visual artist. My role is not to explain or justify my work, but to create pieces that communicate on a deeper, more intuitive level.  I'm not interested in dictating meaning or handing out interpretations. I want my canvases to be the visual embodiment of my creative voice, inviting the viewer to engage with the work and draw their own connections. As Stieglitz suggests, you will have to "sense it in the end through your own experience" in order to truly understand the essence of what an artist has to communicate.

Ultimately, my paintings are my artist's statement. I hope that when you engage with my work, you'll allow yourself to get lost in the experience, to discover the underlying resonance through your own lived perspective. That, to me, is the true purpose of my art.
