Artist Statement

 Defined by its infinite nature, time is a substantial element of human life. Over the span of one’s life, experiences are placed within time and the time we’ve lived settles in our soul. These experiences are processed through the evolution of human existence, with time playing an important role in the creation of human character.

My work endeavors to explore time as a true concept with a specific direction that transcends its scientific and infinite origins. However, this time is not linear in nature, which represents a durational and historical record, but rather the creative time of contemplative awareness, the time of our dreams, our poetry, and our fine arts that man incarnates in a spiritual sense.

To achieve this my artistic practice uses the elements of dreams, memories, and visions to reflect the inner state that defines cyclic, structureless time and to explore the endless spectrum of human emotion—an indication toward something that goes beyond the frame: the poetic association of the beauty and depth of the artistic image.
