Artist Statement
My work explores the new perceptual paradigm of the digital and what it means to be a painter in today’s technocentric world. I use 3D modelling software to produce forms, colors and compositions which are then rendered by hand using oil on canvas. The works aim to facilitate a dialogue between traditional painterly tropes and new digital means of reading space and content.
