Artist Statement
I am passionate about depicting the subjects of the spiritual realm or the realm that is unseen or invisible in our reality. Our physical form consists of a spirit and the world that we live in also consists of spiritual forces. With the landscapes that I create I am exploring to depict the realms of our internal self and the external spiritual forces that resides outside of us. When I’m speaking about the external forces I’m am not simply referring to ghosts and evil spirits but I am focusing on the superior being, the being that transcends all knowledge and power and place.
Eventually my goal as an artist is to depict this intimate connection that we have with God or that intimate connection that God longs to have with each individual being. I explore the spiritual realm because God himself is a spirit and we too consist of a spirit.
In order to achieve this goal, I work on large wall sized surfaces to depict God’s grandiosity and his omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient nature. The materials that are often incorporated in my works are non-precious materials such as poster boards, old discarded drawings, and cheap packaging paper and on clearance house paints. I use these non-precious materials to repurpose them so that these materials can be glorified as an artwork. This is a direct metaphor towards the subject of my work, as individuals will find new purpose and new life through their connection with the Creator.
Translucent paper, brown packaging paper, colored paper, and old drawings are cut or torn into shapes and are glued together to form a spiritual abstract landscape. On the surface of the duct-taped poster boards, there are layers of saturated and de-saturated colors that interact with one another to create a landscape that is distorted and retranslated to depict an invisible spiritual realm.
