Statement

Each piece comes from a simple idea, but as they develop, they become familiar.  Almost as though it is memory from my childhood that I am loosely grasping onto. 

Step into the cavern of imagination where shadows dance and echoes whisper the secrets of the unknown. Welcome to the "Untitled" series, a contemporary rendition of ancient cave paintings that transcends contextual reference.

Imagine extraterrestrial beings, gazing upon the enigmatic tapestry of human existence, their eyes alight with curiosity and wonder. What unfolds on these metaphorical cave walls are not mere renderings of reality, but the vivid interpretations of outsiders peering into our world through the lens of their own mythos.

Each stroke of the brush or stroke of the pen is a cryptic message, a tale spun from the threads of unfamiliarity, woven with symbols and mythology that resonate with the essence of the unfamiliar. It's as if these cosmic voyagers are attempting to decipher the riddle of our existence, piecing together fragments of their own knowledge to tell the story of what they see.

Yet, beneath the surface, there lies a familiarity that transcends the alien gaze. Like fragments of a forgotten dream, each artwork carries a sense of déjà vu, as if it were a memory from a distant past that one can only grasp at loosely. It's a journey into the depths of the subconscious, an exploration of the inner cosmos where memories intertwine with imagination.

As the series unfolds, each piece becomes a portal into the recesses of the mind, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the labyrinth of the unknown. Through these artworks, the artist embarks on a quest to uncover the mysteries of their own psyche, charting new territories of creativity and self-discovery.
