My Style Manifesto

For me, painting has never been about stillness. It’s about movement—the sense that nothing is fixed, that figures, plants, and even objects are always shifting into something new. I’m less interested in capturing reality than I am in exploring transformation, the in-between states we don’t always have words for. Through color and form, I try to express the psychological and the spiritual—the chaos and silence that live side by side in us all.

I paint with tension in mind: eruption against calm, glow against void. Every piece carries both a radiant center and a shadowed depth. Warm tones—reds, oranges, yellows—become inner fire; earth tones keep me grounded; blues, purples, and blacks open up infinity. Neon pinks or metallic flashes spark the atmosphere with energy.

The way I move paint matters as much as the colors. Thick strokes create roots, petals, or flesh. Drips melt into decay. Some areas glow softly like auras, while others erupt into chaotic streaks. I love when a mark can be more than one thing—flame, fabric, petal—depending on how you look at it.

My compositions often feel like stages: a figure or form lit dramatically, surrounded by silence. Negative space isn’t emptiness—it’s the quiet that makes the subject sing. When I cluster elements together, they radiate outward like a bouquet or an explosion.

Imagery flows from metamorphosis—humans dissolving into plants, objects turning to offerings, faces blurring until they’re universal. Light becomes spirit, roots and vines remind me of decay and renewal, and sometimes stars or flecks of stardust appear, pulling the work toward the cosmic.

Emotionally, the paintings swing between tenderness and struggle. Some pieces are about intimacy, others about carrying weight, and some feel ritualistic, as if they’re ceremonies on canvas.

My process is simple but ritualistic: find the glow and the void, sketch a subject, let it dissolve into abstraction, then finish with symbolic accents—a hand, an eye, a burst of flowers, or cosmic flecks.

This manifesto isn’t a rulebook—it’s a compass. A reminder that my work is about metamorphosis, glow, and the sacred dialogue between light and darkness.
