Artist Statement
The connected themes of light, shadows, and a strong connection with nature serve as a common thread weaving across my art pieces. Each piece of art provides an appealing ambiance, enabling visitors to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of the natural world. The constant interaction between light and shadow provides the backbone of this narrative, forming a cohesive visualize that simulates the essence of nature.
In my paintings, I would leans towards realism with traditional techniques and incorporate nature in it, especially forests. Meanwhile, in my mixed media art, I would embrace a more contemporary and tactile form of abstraction with the essence of nature. The description implies a textural investigation and a departure from standard depiction with the use of a more abstract and experimental manner. This fusion of conventional and tactile abstraction results in a diverse and adaptable creative expression. In addition, I emphasize light and lines in my photography. I explore with abstraction, moving away from a direct picture of nature. A visual symphony is created by well thought composition, lighting, and shadows. This photographic style allows for exact control over the interaction of light and shadow, establishing a balance between realism and abstraction.
