The Layered Soul

I’ve never been interested in "pretty" or "perfect." To me, the most honest art is the kind that leaves its scars visible. My work is a tug-of-war between the frantic energy of an underpainting and the quiet, moody gaze of the soul that emerges from it.

The Process

Every piece begins with a mess. I use everything—collage scraps, stencils, markers, spray paint, and watercolor—to create a background of pure emotion and noise. I love the texture of a mark that can't be undone.

The Result

When you look at one of my portraits, I want it to feel like it’s looking back. These aren't just faces; they are reflections of the moods we usually keep hidden.
