About
I paint primarily in oil, focusing on portraits. My work is not just about rendering a likeness, but about capturing the nuance—the subtle essence of a person that suggests something deeper than a simple image. For me, art is a key to unlocking emotion. When I encounter a work that moves me, I know it instantly because the feeling is involuntary, almost visceral. That is the experience I strive to create for others. I want my portraits to evoke an immediate response—something felt before it is understood. In a world where it has become easy to disengage or “check out,” my goal is the opposite: to invite presence, attachment, and authentic feeling. Through layers of oil paint and careful observation, I aim to create portraits that not only represent, but resonate—reminding us of our shared capacity to feel deeply and connect with one another.
