I paint in many different techniques, but have recently started to mix acrylic and oil, which gives me the opportunity to obtain strong colors through layering the oil paint, while saving drying time in the acrylic base painting. I am always experimenting with different painting techniques and materials, as I find the process enjoyable and important to my growth as an artist.
In my painting, I am motivated by the challenge of balancing realistic imagery with abstract backgrounds. This exploration allows me to push the space of the canvas and depth of each work to unexpected places. The inspiration behind my works comes from inside, and when I paint, I am completely free.
