Fusion of history, myth, and culture

Fusion Paintings

From an early age I learned to look beyond the surface. Things are not always as they seem, their true nature often lives outside of the boundaries of logic and rationality.
My paintings fuse history, myth, and culture. They dissolve distinctions between the real and the imagined, and often collapse temporal boundaries, allowing mythic archetypes and contemporary forms to coexist within the same visual and emotional space. The work invites reflection on how the stories we inherit inform the present and how every culture reinvents meaning across time.
Capturing an idea is more important than a veridical rendering or adhering to conventional wisdom, or artistic convention. I let the painting unfold as I work.
