As a queer outsider artist based in Brooklyn, I am driven by a deep exploration of the expressive nature of human and animal emotions. Through my art, I seek to capture the raw essence of these emotions and offer a visual narrative that transcends societal boundaries and norms.
Drawing inspiration from my own experiences as a queer individual navigating the complexities of identity and belonging, I embrace my position as an outsider, using art as a means to challenge established paradigms and celebrate the diverse spectrum of human existence. In my work, I aim to create a safe and inclusive space where the marginalized voices can be heard, acknowledged, and appreciated.
Through a variety of mediums, including painting, drawing, and mixed media, I delve into the intricacies of emotions, unveiling the hidden depths and vulnerabilities that exist within us all.
My artistic process is characterized by an intuitive and instinctive approach. I allow myself to be guided by the energy and emotions that emerge in the moment, giving form to bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. The resulting artworks embody a sense authenticity, inviting viewers to engage with the rawness and honesty.
In my pursuit of capturing the essence of human and animal emotions, I am inspired by the rich history of art, drawing from a diverse range of influences such as Expressionism, Folk Art, Surrealism, and Contemporary Figurative Art. I aim to create a visual language that resonates with viewers on a visceral level.
Ultimately, my art is a celebration of the human spirit and the transformative power of self-expression. It is an invitation to embrace our emotions, confront our vulnerabilities, and find solace and connection in the shared experience of being alive. Through my work, I strive to create a space for dialogue, empathy, and understanding, fostering a sense of unity and acceptance in a world that often attempts to marginalize and divide.
