ARTIST STATEMENT
|
In my work I am allowed complete control, in what I say, what I want and also keeping in mind the ideas of “Will I somehow find myself in this?”. The way I see it is, what does my subconscious have to say for itself? Inspiration can come from any and everything, my main source for inspiration is talking. I’ll ramble on for hours, allowing myself to get the unfinished thoughts out. I want my art to tell people that they are not alone, in the unknown abyss. I’ve been working with oil painting for a year now, I’m excited to try new mediums throughout the years. Although, for right now oils have been satisfying the itch.
