With my work I strive to create strong conceptual ideas and stories, disguised as beautiful images with bold compositions. I have taken visual influences from graffiti and fashion while always trying to achieve higher levels of realism and dynamic compositions that focus on time, movement, and color. I work mainly in oils and believe that realism is just as important as showing raw painted forms, and the contrast between the two compels the viewer's focus to vibrate between the painted reality and the actual paint on the surface.
