MFA Drawing + Painting

My recent paintings serve as a contemplative exploration of humanity’s place within the universe. Since the dawn of time, humans have questioned their existence, seeking to understand it through mediums like religion, philosophy, science, exploration, and art. This enduring curiosity has shaped our evolution and continues to define who we are. My work is both a personal and collective inquiry of it all. An attempt to engage with the same fundamental questions that have captivated generations before me. I use cosmic symbolism alongside human figures to emphasize the interdependence between humanity and the universe. For without the vast forces of the cosmos, our existence would not be possible. My paintings aim to honor that reality, to reflect on the fragile balance that sustains life and to foster a deeper appreciation for the world we inhabit. Ultimately, my work calls for a renewed sense of harmony, reminding us that only through respect for the universe and its natural rhythms can we truly thrive.
