I create paintings that portray my anxieties about life through depictions of the everyday. I have devoted myself to the integrity of looking, scrutinizing familiar places and translating my experiences into paintings. I craft psychological environments that illustrate my fears and thoughts transcending the mundane reality of the world around me. It is difficult for me to accept mutable time, the unknown, death, anticipation, confinement and failure. Even in the comfort of my own home, there is a pause of uncertainty and worry about everyday occurrences.
The deliberation of marks reflect my state of mind at that time and place. Through use of thick and thin paint applications and qualities of color, I express my thoughts on personal scenarios. The love for the physicality of paint allows me to move the medium around with spontaneous and direct marks. My paintings accentuate the strong horizontal and vertical elements in interiors and exteriors spaces. The use of color reflects my mood and helps the viewer in understanding the deeper meaning.
These moments capture a specific time or emotion I cannot go back to. The absence of human presence is conveyed by compositions of being enclosed, kept out of sight and withheld from others. Everything in life is rapidly changing. My work captures the uncertainty of adjustment and unveiling anxieties of daily life.
