My work moves between the worlds of absurdism and maximalist surrealism. I am guided by the mood and influenced by the moment. There is no predictability in what will come out of me, only a constant desire to overwhelm and perplex is consistent in my work.
Influenced by patterns, sound light and language, often borrowing my titles from music I’m fond of or plays on words that dance in my ears.
I invite viewers into a world where cultural archetypes and shape exploration collide, creating narratives that challenge perceptions.
With a background in Art, Archaeology, and Psychology, my work delves into themes of war, myth, and societal constructs. From the surreal landscapes of "Fall of Fortress Europe" to the enigmatic portraits in "Not A Strawberry," each piece beckons the audience to unravel its mysteries.
Through my "War Toys Series" and beyond, the visual language captivates and provokes, urging viewers to craft their own stories within the intricate framework of his art.
