STATEMENT
Creating art is an innate part of my life. I am an interdisciplinary mix-media artist and much of my work is an intuitive process, which is focused on the spontaneous expressive gestural impetus of media and paint. My work is driven by strong theoretical interests in a diverse array of philosophical discourses on Ontology, Metaphysics, Heideggerian and Merleau-Pontyian Phenomenology as well as Deleuzian Metaphysics.
