About The Artwork

In my artistic process, I create palettes that showcase a diverse range of colors, textures, and patterns. Each palette serves as a visual representation of a specific moment in my artistic journey, encapsulating the essence of my previous works. As I carefully remove dried paint from these palettes, I am reminded of the intentional brushstrokes and creative decisions I made in the past. These paint fragments then become the building blocks for my sculptures, mosaics, and collages, seamlessly intertwining the history of my artistic progression with the present. I believe that the paint itself takes center stage in my artwork, as I embrace its inherent qualities and allow it to guide my creative process. The dried forms of paint found on the palettes evoke a sense of the natural world, resembling the layers and stratification seen in geological formations. I am captivated by the parallel between the earth's history and the layered history preserved within each palette. Moreover, my commitment to sustainability extends beyond repurposing palettes. I actively seek out used paint tubes, offering them a new lease on life. Additionally, I utilize failed artwork and scraps from my sculptures and collages, ensuring that no paint is wasted. Exploring the sculptural potential of dried paint enables me to push the boundaries of traditional two-dimensional painting and gain a deeper understanding of its artistic possibilities.

In my process, I build palettes that contain a rich array of colors, textures, and patterns. Each palette represents a moment in time, capturing the essence of my previous works. As I slice off dried pieces of paint, I am reminded of the deliberate brush strokes and the creative decisions made in the past. These fragments become the foundation for my sculptures, mosaics, and collages, intertwining the history of my artistic journey with the present. The paint itself becomes the protagonist in my artwork, as I embrace its inherent qualities and allow it to guide me. The dried forms of paint on the palettes echo the natural world, reminiscent of the layers and stratification found in geological formations. I am fascinated by the parallel between the history of the earth and the layered history captured within each palette. My commitment to sustainability extends beyond repurposing palettes. I actively seek out used tubes of paint, giving them a second life. I use failed artwork and scraps from my sculpture and collage designs, ensuring that no paint goes to waste. This exploration of paint in its dried state allows me to understand its sculptural potential, pushing the boundaries of traditional two-dimensional painting By recycling and repurposing all dried paint from fabrication head to tail, I strive to make a statement about sustainability, resourcefulness, and the endless possibilities that lie within artistic materials. My goal is to reduce waste, breathe new life into forgotten materials, and create art that speaks volumes without the need for words.
