My paintings combine natural excess with nostalgia. The world is made up of organic shapes and movements on every level, whether it be viewed through a microscope or from the window of a space station. The magnitude of these forms can appear excessive, but unified. I cram these shapes of different colors and textures into my paintings in order to create a bigger, seemingly alive, abstraction.
In my series ‘Subtle’, I merged my physically abstract paintings with the abstract concept of nostalgia by linking the compositions to subtle, but lasting moments in my life. Most of the inspiration for my paintings comes from nature’s forms, but they are always based in my own consciousness and memories.
