About the Artist
Drawing inspiration from early computer graphics and organic patterns found in nature, I combine my appreciation for both digital design and traditional art forms. By blending acrylic painting techniques with digital aesthetics, I have developed a visual language that fuses technical precision with bold, expressive color.
My recent series, Analog Blooms in the Digital Void, explores humanity's shift from a tangible analog existence to an increasingly digitized one. Using my signature vibrant acrylics and geometric motifs, I create a visual connection between traditional botanical subjects and the "glitch" aesthetics of the modern era. By placing delicate organic forms against grids and high-contrast patterns, my paintings symbolize life's resilience within the "void" of a digital environment.
Each piece I create invites viewers to contemplate the tension between the unpredictable curves of life and the rigidity of the tech-driven systems we navigate daily. Through my art, I encourage others to reflect on their own relationship with technology and consider what is gained or lost as our world becomes increasingly digitized.
Creative Process
Rather than separating analog and digital practices, I see them as interconnected parts of a creative ecosystem. Movement between traditional materials and modern tech is a fundamental part of how I work. Digital tools are not a replacement for human craftsmanship. Instead, I use them as an extension of my creative toolbox, providing new ways to experiment and expand the possibilities.
Analog Start
Each project begins to take shape in the physical realm with pencils or ink on paper. These preliminary ideation sketches are an essential step in exploration, allowing me to transform the concepts swirling around in my head into something tangible.
Digital Enhancement
I move over to the digital realm to further develop my ideas. I take photos or scan my original sketches and then refine them with a Wacom tablet and Photoshop. This is an efficient way to explore endless options of color palettes, compositional ratios, and dimensions before applying actual paint to my canvas.
Projection / Transfer
For larger works, I use a projector to digitally transfer my constructed “blueprint” onto the canvas, ensuring consistency with my conceptualized ideas throughout the creative process.
Real Time Iteration
When I'm working on a painting, I often get new ideas. Mobile apps and GenAI are useful tools for visualizing color changes or adding new elements in real time. Using my phone, I snap a photo of my painting, then make adjustments in a matter of seconds to “preview” my ideas prior to adding the paint to the canvas.
