Artist Statement

My Geo-Surrealistic landscapes are dream-like, metaphysical worlds that draw inspiration from my transformative wellness journey seeking personal growth, self-awareness, and mental clarity. Created with generative and algorithmic art techniques, my art has an ethereal aesthetic and spiritual essence that transcend conventional reality, drawn from my dreams and other contemplative practices such as yoga and meditation. I explore themes such as inner peace, good intentions, self-discovery, positive energy, interconnectedness, and social harmony. Art has the unique power to encourage reflection and foster connection, serving as a medium of expression that has the transformative potential to improve our community. Individual growth contributes to collective progress. Many of my pieces are titled after feelings, values, aspirations, and personal mantras.

Connected to the Biomorphism and Techspressionism artistic movements, my landscapes feature cellular shapes and biomorphic forms digitally infused with an intricate geometric and curvilinear aesthetic. My creative process begins with shapes, forms, and motifs I digitally create, and showcases a progression that involves playing with scale and repetition with the application of digital art techniques. 

The visual language of Geo-Surrealistic landscapes is deeply rooted in geometry, biological forms, patterns, and color theory. There is an intrinsic beauty underlying the simplicity and order of geometric relationships. Abstracted elements of sacred geometry, labyrinths, and mandalas appear in most of my work. Within Geo-Surrealistic landscapes one can observe a cellular vitality that imparts a sense of life. The pulsating biomorphic energy felt in each composition mirrors the vibrancy of personal growth. Each cell represents a unique facet of the transformative journey, and their interconnectedness serves a visual metaphor for the holistic approach to well-being. The interplay of mind, body, and spirit is central in the narrative of self-discovery. As someone who is adept at recognizing both physical and intangible patterns in life, I am interested in using patterns to imbue wonder and meaning into my work, transcending the physical and delving into the metaphysical.  The subtle alterations in geometric elements and shifts in colors, whether noticed incrementally or going unnoticed, mirror the wide range of ways we perceive change. My interest in incremental change, symbolized within aperiodic patterns, reflects an understanding of how meaningful transformations occur in both art and life. The thematic emphasis on recognizing, understanding, and breaking patterns as a means of making sense of the world aligns with the broader concept that change is possible through disrupting existing structures. This philosophy extends beyond the physical realm, touching on the dynamics of breaking patterns and unconscious habits to enable change within. Psychedelic colors, reminiscent of the hues observed in moments of profound introspection and higher levels of consciousness, are central to resonating with the viewer's emotions and experiences.

As an artist, I find purpose in encapsulating the intricacies of my personal journey in physical form, and meaning as viewers connect with my work. Viewers are invited to reflect on their own introspective wellness journeys and find connection to the transcendent worlds found in my Geo-Surrealistic landscapes.
