I can Feel You Breath

Every Bend a Beginning reflects on the moments when life changes direction—often quietly, unexpectedly, and beyond our control. The sweeping forms move between tension and release, suggesting that a path does not have to be straight to have purpose. Each bend becomes a threshold: a place where what was gives way to what might become. The work invites us to see uncertainty not as an obstacle, but as the space where transformation begins. I approach painting through a reductionist mindset, using clean lines, restraint, and carefully considered form to create a sense of movement and depth. As a multidisciplinary artist, I work across drawing, painting, airbrushing, and the reductive application of crackle paste. Each piece is built by hand through layers of acrylics, iron pigments, patinas, stippling, and airbrush shading. These processes allow me to manipulate surface, texture, and tone, creating forms that appear to shift, float, and occupy an illusory three-dimensional space.
