People often expect art to soothe, to affirm, to present something easily understood. My work does the opposite. I create pieces that unsettle, challenge, and confront—forcing the viewer to reconsider what they think they know. Disruption is central to my practice, not for the sake of provocation alone, but to reveal the fractures within the world we navigate. I am drawn to instability, to the tension between the familiar and the unfamiliar. Identity is never fixed, power is rarely balanced, and what we deem acceptable is often dictated by forces beyond our control. My work engages with these themes, exploring how societal structures shape perception. Some pieces lean into the abject, others into beauty, but all challenge the limits of recognition and comfort.
Working digitally, I resist the weightlessness of the medium by embedding texture, layering digital brushstrokes, and disrupting perception. My pieces exist in a space between presence and absence. They do not settle neatly into categories; they demand engagement beyond passive consumption. Influenced by Baroque drama, contemporary critique, and the aesthetics of disruption, my work navigates themes of control, societal expectation, and resistance. It questions how images can be used as tools of both compliance and defiance. My work isn’t made to be admired from a distance. It lingers, drawing in the viewer only to challenge their initial expectations. Authenticity matters, but so does reaction – what appears familiar at first may shift or unsettle, demanding a second look. I want the viewer to question not just what they see, but why they expect to see it that way. Things are never quite what they seem – and that uncertainty is where the real confrontation begins.
Damnation is a bold, emotionally charged exploration of sin, corruption, and human fallibility, merging Baroque and Dark Romanticist aesthetics with contemporary feminist and psychological themes. The project interrogates identity, power, and vulnerability through a series of richly symbolic digital paintings that blur the line between beauty and horror. Drawing on chiaroscuro lighting, theatrical compositions, and emotionally intense narratives, each piece invites the viewer into a world where nothing is quite as it seems. While rooted in digital media, the work consciously subverts expectations of the medium—often printed on brushed metal or wood to evoke a tactile, painterly materiality. This fusion of old and new creates a visual language that is both haunting and seductive, echoing historical drama while critiquing modern social structures. Themes of trauma, objectification, and emotional repression are embedded in each image, demanding active engagement from the viewer. Damnation is not simply about darkness—it’s about complicity. Through direct eye contact, immersive scale, and symbolic detail, the viewer is drawn into the narrative, made to reflect on their own gaze. This is a project that doesn’t offer easy answers—it lingers, confronts, and implicates, transforming deeply personal experiences into unsettling, unforgettable visual poetry.
