Beauty, joy, the nature of reality, and the pursuit of understanding the essence of everything are my work's core ideas, concepts, and inspirations. Natural science and Atomic Physics are my guiding
principles, composition is my altar, and color is the sacred sacrament.

I began the Freehand series during the 2020 pandemic. This series melds automatism, intuitive color choices, and deliberate line work that rises to the surface. It began as an exercise to liberate my hand
movements. Still, it evolved into a practice of intuitively filling spaces with color, consciously selecting 7-9 hues. I sought to emphasize the drawing by darkening the lines, something I stopped doing last year, letting the lines define the shapes. The synthesis of subconscious, intuitive, and precise conscious efforts has produced an effect that intrigues me.
