Essence and Life Cannot be Seen
Series of 9 paintings
This 2024 series investigates the tension between the visible painted surface and invisible essence that animates all life. Working with intuitive processes and considered micro-decisions, these layered paintings allow forms to surface and dissolve, creating interfaces between the seen and unseen. The works point toward what can only be felt through receptive consciousness rather than direct observation.
The Moon and the Sun
Series of 9 paintings
This 2023 series explores the transformational dance between lunar and solar consciousness, inspired by the symbolic imagery of the 16th-century Rosarium Philosophorum. Working through automatic and receptive techniques, the series maps cosmic terrains where womb-like forms, otherworldly creatures, and strange beings inhabit an interconnected psychic web. The paintings trace Luna and Sol's encounters and provisional co-emergence, revealing nets of elements that weave together through processes encouraging the soul to paint its own transformation.
