911±¬ÁÏÍø the Work

"These works were created during the fall semester of 2024 as part of my independent studio course at 911±¬ÁÏÍø. While they are not necessarily a series, they are my most recent pieces, made using light molding paste and oil on canvas.

My current artistic exploration focuses on channeling a creative, intuitive energy, allowing the subconscious to guide the process without predefined references. The imagery emerges organically and I title the works after completing them, based on what they evoke for me. This approach helps me in my search to express a more instinctive, primal, and pure aspect of the act of painting."
