Philosophy
My emphasis is on creating interesting images, ones that will attract the viewer. It is then up to the viewer to interpret the images through their own experience.
I do not have a message. I do not make a statement. I just try to make interesting images. My artwork for the most part is my subconscious ideas that will be interpreted differently for each individual.
The viewer's perception plays a crucial role in interpreting my art. Each viewer brings their own experiences, emotions, and perspectives to the artwork, resulting in unique interpretations.
