About my art:
I am a people painter and my main subject matter is the female gaze. Each piece is a homage to an empowering woman. Anything else on the canvas works to either highlight the subject or manipulate the viewer’s gaze towards the subject.
I attribute great importance and detail to the female essence. By contrast, I apply an abstracted and elusive quality to her surroundings, since they aren’t as important as she is.
Portraying female sexuality in a delicate yet empowering manner is paramount to the main goal I have, which is to put all different kinds of women on the pedestal where they belong. The exaggerated vibrance used in the color schemes is simply a manifestation of the strong personality etched onto the canvas.
My art is a tribute to the woman.
