Artistic Statement
My artistic practice has developed over decades and across disciplines, including photography, theatre (actor, producer, director, playwright), digital photography, and digital art. Working within these varied forms has given me a sustained familiarity with the creative process as one shaped by time, uncertainty, resistance, and occasional moments of clarity. I understand creation not as a singular act of expression, but as an iterative and embodied practice—one that relies on intuition, sustained attention, and choice.
Portraiture offers something I couldn’t find elsewhere: a meeting point between observation and interpretation, where personality, mood, and narrative quietly reveal themselves. Even then, I was less interested in likeness alone than in the emotional atmosphere a portrait could carry.
As my practice evolved, digital art opened new possibilities. It allowed me to move beyond strict representation and explore abstraction, distortion, and layering while keeping the human presence central. The portrait became not just a record of appearance but a field of experimentation where identity, memory, and imagination could intersect.
More recently, AI-assisted tools have entered my process. I view it simply as a tool that is an extension of the artist’s hand rather than the focus of the work itself. It expands technical possibilities, but the essential questions remain human: who is being portrayed, what emotional truth is being sought, and how visual form can communicate that experience.
At this stage in my work, I am fully committed to portraiture as the core of my artistic life. The pull toward the human subject has been constant from the beginning, and I am now choosing to immerse myself in that focus with greater clarity and intent. Each new piece becomes an exploration of presence, character, and the shifting boundaries of identity.
By emphasizing the abstract nature of the human form, I aim to suggest that identity is never fixed or singular. Distortion, fragmentation, and ambiguity can reveal as much as precision, sometimes more. Abstraction allows the portrait to move beyond the individual and speak to broader human experience, inviting viewers to see themselves within the work.
Ultimately, my practice is about connection. Whatever tools I use, the goal remains unchanged: to explore the enduring mystery of the human form and the stories it carries. Portraiture continues to be both my starting point and my destination, a lifelong conversation I intend to pursue with deepening focus and commitment.
