Artist Statement
My work is an ever-evolving exploration of the intersections between reality, abstraction, and the surreal, centered around themes of Human Connection and Adversity. Through a harmonious blend of traditional oil painting techniques, Abstract Surrealism, and cutting-edge digital innovation, I strive to create immersive experiences that invite viewers to engage deeply with the intricate narratives that lie beneath the surface of each piece.
From the earliest stages of my artistic journey, I have been profoundly drawn to the tactile qualities of oil paint—its capacity to layer, create depth, and evoke a timeless yet immediate sense of realism. The works of masters such as Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet have had a profound influence on my early approach to oil painting and color theory. Their unparalleled mastery of color, texture, and light continues to inspire and guide my practice today.
In my teenage years, I developed a deep love for pop culture, a passion that has remained a constant throughout my life. This fascination led me to the work of artists like Takashi Murakami and Andy Warhol, whose approaches to art and culture sparked new dimensions in my own creative process. After formalizing my artistic education, I immersed myself in the systematic study of art, where I encountered Abstract Art and Cubism. These movements captivated me, and I spent hours in museums replicating Pablo Picasso’s works, which marked the beginning of my own exploration of personal artistic identity.
As my work evolved, I embraced Abstract Surrealism, blending physical reality with emotional and psychological realms. This allowed me to express human complexity, encouraging viewers to engage with the hidden layers of each piece. A key turning point was incorporating Digital Fusion into my practice, combining traditional oil techniques with digital elements. This fusion expanded my ability to experiment with form, texture, and color in new ways, blending the physical and digital worlds.
Artificial Intelligence became central to my work from 2022 to 2024, as I invested over 1,000 hours mastering AI tools like Midjourney. I developed a unique style by integrating AI-generated insights with my own artistic vision, blending human intuition with machine precision.
Since late 2023, I have focused on the relationship between camouflage patterns and abstract forms, combining AI with traditional methods to create signature works. This convergence of abstraction and AI continues to evolve my personal style.
My art is deeply influenced by Andy Warhol, Takashi Murakami, Pop Art, Surrealism, Christian culture, Taoist philosophy, and mythological narratives. These influences shape my global perspective, emphasizing both cultural diversity and universal human themes.
Looking ahead, I aim to further integrate traditional techniques with AI-driven elements, pushing the boundaries of immersive, transformative art. My goal is to explore the complexities of the human condition through emotionally and sensorially resonant work.
At its core, my art invites contemplation and connection, encouraging viewers to reflect on the balance between reality and imagination, connection and adversity. My work serves as a mirror to the seen and unseen, the tangible and the abstract.
