My work explores the intersection of culture, identity, and emotion
through vibrant, narrative-driven imagery. Working primarily in oil
paint, alongside digital illustration, I create pieces that are both
realistic and visually bold, drawing viewers in through color and
holding them through the intensity of the story being told.

I’m deeply inspired by personal experience, my own memories,
relationships, and the cultural influences that shape how we see
ourselves and each other. These elements become the foundation of
my work, allowing me to build layered compositions that feel both
intimate and universal.

Color plays a central role in my process. I use it not only as a visual
tool but as a way to express emotion and amplify the energy within
each piece. Combined with a graphic, stylized approach to realism,
my work aims to blur the line between what is seen and what is felt.

Ultimately, I want my work to invite connection. I hope viewers are
drawn in by the vibrancy, but stay to find something of themselves
within the piece, whether that’s a memory, a feeling, or a sense of
identity.
