Untitled, From Personal Growth Collection Painting

Embarking from the premise that stagnant answers impede progress, my artistic endeavors seek to infuse vitality into two-dimensional, static objects. Rooted in the notion that creations should evolve beyond my initial intent, each piece aims to continually morph and transform from every viewer's perspective, defying fixed interpretation. Challenging the notion that art is the sole artificial construct, I probe the dichotomy it poses to humanity, questioning our utilitarian approach. Despite lacking direct survival benefits like other necessities found in nature, art remains a profound human need. This inherent drive to make sense of it compels us to attribute forced benefits such as conveying messages or enlightenment, underscoring the nexus between art and pleasure, emphasizing the significance of pleasure as a luxury, a vital component of a humane existence. Progress, therefore, hinges not merely on fulfilling survival requisites but on meeting our human needs. The inception of my "Visual Haikus" series in 2018 marked the genesis of these contemplations. Initially conceived as a mental reprieve, these works laid the groundwork for my current musings. Resembling puzzle pieces within themselves, they form new images when viewed from different angles, epitomizing "E pluribus unum." In my stained glass endeavors commenced in 2020, these ideals served as the cornerstone. Illuminated by LED lights, these pieces unveil the subtleties of color tones, while light refractions mimic the vivacity and plurality evoked by water. Thus, "Ex uno, pluris." Representing the essence of my perspective, my project "Personal Growth" encapsulates a journey of continuous development and expansion, both reflecting my experiences and imparting new ones. With dimensions extending beyond traditional boundaries, these pieces lack fixed meanings or names, embodying an ever-evolving entity in its entirety.
