Artist Statement
“I see art as a powerful tool that could spark something in one’s lifetime which could change the course of history.
I use my art as a way of expressing the reality, beauty, struggle, and strength of humanity by painting and drawing. I feel like it’s a message that somebody out there can learn from or be inspired by.”
I have a voice. I am a vessel for storytelling. When people look at my art I want them to feel a deep connection with the struggle and the experiences this generation went through. The symbolism in my paintings allows me to make statements about humanity and the global condition, as well as my feelings and opinions on politics, wealth, and social justice that I cannot express through words.
I chose portraiture as the medium for my stories because I believe there is an instant connection between an artist and a viewer when they can feel the emotions painted on my subject’s face.
