About

As an atmospheric sea, sky, and landscape artist, my work has always been focused on capturing the mood and memory of a particular moment in time. Whether it is the soft colors of a sunrise, the shifting shadows of a mountain range, or the fluidity of the sea, my paintings seek to evoke the emotions and sensations that come with experiencing the natural world.

While I primarily work in oil paint, I also love the fluidity of ink and watercolor, which allows me to experiment with different techniques and textures. Recently, I have been inspired to expand my style to include wildlife themes, using neutral soft color tones and impasto marks to create a sense of depth and texture.

My goal is to create a visual narrative that captures the beauty and fragility of nature, while also highlighting the interconnectedness of all living things. Through my paintings, I aim to convey a sense of tranquility and peace, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the natural world and connect with their own memories and experiences.

I use impasto marks to create a tactile and textured surface, allowing the viewer to feel the movement and energy of the wildlife in my paintings. By incorporating wildlife themes into my landscapes, I hope to create a dialogue between the viewer and the artwork, raising awareness of the need to protect and preserve our planet’s biodiversity.

In my work, I am drawn to the soft, neutral tones of nature, which create a sense of timelessness that underscores the importance of conservation for future generations. By capturing the beauty and complexity of the natural world, I hope to inspire others to appreciate and protect it.

Ultimately, my art is a reflection of my own deep love and respect for the natural world. Through my paintings, I hope to inspire others to see the beauty and magic of the world around us, and to take action to protect it for generations to come.
