I work in two distinct abstract styles that allow me to express different aspects of my creativity. In one approach, I create messy, blended abstracts where I build up layers of paint to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. These pieces are deeply connected to my feelings and my bond with nature, evoking worlds of cliffs, forests, skies, and shores. They're about capturing the moments where land meets sky and exploring the play of light and shadow within these imagined universes.
My other approach is a high-contrast, shape-based style. In this work, I focus on the interplay of colors and forms. Sometimes the shapes take on their own personalities or convey specific concepts like loneliness or pressure. Other times, I'm purely interested in exploring how irregular, surrealistic shapes and a carefully chosen color palette can create a feeling or emotion within the composition.
