My paintings oscilate between stylized landscapes and abstracted compositions of elemental essences. They are an amalgam of my love for nature and utopic desires for peace and harmony. My eastern background, immigration, constant travels and nomadic lifestyle have fostered an untethered feeling of not belonging to any specific place. This has catalyzed me to create liminal worlds which feel like home. I find solace in nature. It is a universal aspect of existence, wherever you are - it is there. You can always find beauty in it, it is always there to comfort. Self generated symbol systems navigate between the earthly and the ethereal. Disembodied eyes in my work allude to the sentient aspect of the natural world. I have always had a strong interest in esoteric theosophical texts, from figures such as Helena Blavatsky, Rudolph Steiner and Manly P. Hall. Influences include the Transcendental Painting Group of the 1940s.

My drawings are dynamic metaphysical compositions that are intuitively guided by automatism, relying on a sensory and cognitive attunement with the environment. They are a cartography of energetic dynamics that compose the everyday world. A snapshot of metaphysical ephemera. A documentation of a visually inaccessible plane of existence, yet one that is integral to being. Observations of the natural world influence organic, undulating forms. A common thread of union, oneness, and synergy interlaces all of the work. Nuanced molecular emotional interplay of primary essences and binaries. It ultimately signifies one’s reverence for life and affirms the sacredness of humanity
