My art is an expression of my innermost self, a reflection of my personal journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. I strive to create works that convey a sense of otherworldliness and invite viewers to question their perceptions of reality.
My preferred mediums are oil painting, drawing, and mixed media. I draw inspiration from the theories of transcendence by Immanuel Kant and synchronicity by Carl Jung, as well as various spiritual practices.
Through my art, I aim to tap into the unconscious mind and explore the intersections between mysticism, psychology and visual arts. Often, I am heavily influenced by the style of Caravaggio, but I am open to exploring other techniques in the future.
Ultimately, my art is a way for me to connect with the world and others, and to offer a glimpse into my own personal journey.
