Even though I have an intimate understanding of my creative dynamic, its nature is so all-pervading that it is never separated from my daily life. Yet, I cannot definitively comprehend what I am doing.

I know that the process of creation is inherently intertwined with the essence of the final outcome. Trusting this frees me from questioning or reasoning why. The integrity of awareness in the creative moment becomes a form of meditation because being in awe is my muse.

This state is empty of any ego or sense of self—a creative dialogue that is listened to and acted upon spontaneously. It unfolds as an unknown pathway of meditative chaos. No amount of planning can control this dialogue or the vision being sought. It is effortless, sometimes timeless, and always gives back more than I could ever put in.

Another reason this process is akin to meditation is that within this dialogue lies a state of being that does not change. Perhaps some essence of this enters the plasticity of the art medium itself, and maybe this is the central concept of my work.

I can only present the art to you. Sharing my personal experience as a viewer of my own work is not why I am an artist.

These artworks are created using a subtle yet radically different vehicle of expression. Put simply, they are visual constructs that align with our consciousness. They utilize the biological inheritance of our being, offering insight into why we perceive reality as an illusion.

In this dynamic, the viewer becomes the creator. Through space, structure, and form, I use visual techniques that allow illusions to unfold. The perception "shifts" within you, creating a personal and intimate entrance into a visual world we have barely explored.

Art, for me, is a record of careful observation. I use this role as an artist to engage deeply with what I see. The space for illusions functions similarly to life itself, where everything exists in a state of constant transformation.

This vehicle of expression is closest to surrealism, abstractly expressed within the language of realism. It has the capacity to engage with other forms of artistic expression as my subject. So far this has happened with photorealism and surrealism, and I sense archetypal and symbolic forms emerging which I am hoping to discover.
