The Best DREAMS Happen When You’re AWAKE!
CONTEMPORARY VICE
I believe that we all have the potential to make our dreams come true and the key to unlocking new doors lies within us. This exhibition is an embodiment of the notion that perception creates reality. It tells an exquisite tale of the infinite possibilities that we can uncover through nurturing our inner child and overcoming limiting self-belief. In my extensive work with youth, I’m always enchanted by their sense of wonder and imagination. They see the world through a technicolor lens, believing in their dreams with playful excitement. I create art that radiates this childlike energy and serves as a reminder that this sparkle lives within each of us. No matter how much it has been dimmed, we can reignite the glow and fall in love with life. This is an invitation to follow what makes you come alive, step into your power and be the embodiment of your personal legend. You are the chosen one, if you so choose.
Artist Statement
I paint the world through a lens of unconditional love. Each canvas is a symphony of emotion which tells the story of life’s ebb and flow. Through this soulful expression, I unveil the beauty and intricacy of each moment, hinting that there’s purpose in everything; including darkness.
This vulnerability creates a narrative between personal and universal experience. It emphasizes that no matter how different we may seem, everyone is connected at their core. All one, yet radiantly unique. We are the embodiment of magic. Our very existence is the greatest mystery, which I love to explore within my creations.
Through alchemy and vibrant perception, I hope to make people feel something: planting seeds which nurture the soul.
