I am a representational painter whose works focus on landscape, interior, and figures in urban settings that are often disregarded. I am interested in the tension between illusional space resulting from chiaroscuro and perspective and the pictorial space, including composition and the materiality of the surface. My paintings typically feature the interaction between architectural or industrial structures and geometrical shapes of the jointed physical panels.

My current body of work is inspired by the concept of non-places, such as public bathrooms, elevators, and city streets—transient, and therefore overlooked, spaces of passage. Through figures and/or cropped perspectives, my works offer a narrative about the experience of traveling through spaces with bleak industrial structures or abandoned mundane objects. By inviting my viewers’ attention to these places, I seek to reflect the feelings of alienation, solitude, and boredom that haunt the psyche of many contemporary dwellers.
