My paintings arise from a dialogue between landscape and consciousness — a search for the quiet thresholds where the outer world mirrors the inner one. I’m drawn to the mythic and the unseen presences that inhabit natural spaces: the guardians of sacred groves, the spirits of stone, the whispering silhouettes of trees at dusk. These entities are not literal figures but emanations of awareness, reflections of how we perceive and project meaning onto the earth itself.
Each work begins with close observation of place — the curve of a hillside, the pulse of green light through leaves — but evolves toward something inward, a dream terrain. Layers of pigment act as sediment of memory and time, where transparent glazes open portals between form and spirit. Through the process of painting, I seek to record not the landscape itself, but the consciousness that moves through it.
Ultimately, my work is an invitation to attunement — to perceive the quiet intelligences that move beneath the visible surface of the world. In these painted spaces, I hope to evoke a sense of guardianship and reverence, reminding us that what is sacred still lingers in the world around us, waiting to be recognized.
