Abstract Mixed Media Assemblage

Artist Statement

My work is rooted in the quiet peace found within the in-between spaces of my surroundings—those overlooked textures and moments that seem to exist outside of time. From an early age, I discovered a profound sense of calm in these spaces, and this feeling has become the driving force behind my creative process. Through abstract mixed media, I’m able to build and manipulate layers of diverse materials to create environments that are at once familiar and abstract, fluid yet textured.

I use various techniques to craft soft, delicate areas that flow seamlessly between bursts of bold, unpredictable texture. These contrasts evoke the sense of discovery and calm I’ve always sought. Every painting is an assemblage of these in-between spaces, a reflection of the unseen yet deeply felt parts of our world.

My process begins intuitively. I lay a foundation through collage, push it back, build bold textures, and then soften them. I exploit these layers to form something unexpected. Finally, I step back and consider the composition and tonality. Most times, I make few alterations, trusting the space that’s already been created.

I see my work as an invitation to travel through these spaces with me, offering viewers the opportunity to find their own moments of peace and reflection within the textures.
