Collage 2 Painting

My work is a deconstruction recipe of emotions, colors, stories, and inspirations - It reflects life with its ease and complications—each part and piece of a puzzle making it whole. It's an inside-out view. Introspection, fragmentation, complexity of being, dealing with confliction. The work reveals a universal common bond of personal struggle...that life is a series of fragments that we have to make sense of. Intuitively I feel the need to “destroy” the work, but it’s actually the need to always challenge myself to go further, not to accept things at face value and never settle. And....a need to go deeper and look at the places in ourselves we would rather avoid. My mission is to make work that allows us to embrace our insecurities without judgement. Making a statement..... “Yeah, we’re all fucked up, but we’re doing the best we can.”
