The Empty Balloon Painting

My artistic practice is deeply rooted in the realms of iconography and visual narrative, where I cultivate a distinctive visual language through the fusion of abstraction, landscape, floral, and figurative elements. By embracing a diverse array of mediums, including acrylics, oils, wax, and collage on paper or canvas, I create complex, layered works that invite the viewer to inhabit a realm of ambiguity and contemplation. Through a process of intuitive mark-making and deliberate composition, I strive to distill the essence of my subjects, revealing the intricate dance between color, form, and texture. My artistic inquiry is driven by a fascination with the sublime and the unknown, and I find myself drawn to the liminal spaces where reality and abstraction blur. As an educator, I am committed to fostering a creative environment that encourages experimentation, risk-taking, and innovation. By sharing my knowledge and expertise, I aim to empower others to tap into their own unique voice and vision, and to develop a deeper understanding of the artistic process. In my own work, I continue to push the boundaries of traditional representation, embracing the fluidity and unpredictability of abstract expression. Through the use of unconventional materials and techniques, I create immersive, dream-like environments that challenge the viewer’s perceptions and invite them to engage with the artwork on a deeper level.
