As a young artist working primarily with oil paints, I find myself deeply inspired by the works of the great painters of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Their mastery of light, composition, and technique continues to captivate me, and I strive to incorporate these elements into my own work.

My focus at the moment is on portraiture and group scenes, where I attempt to capture intimate moments from contemporary life. I find that the techniques and compositional choices of the “Old Masters” lend themselves to depicting the moments I want to capture, they evoke a sense of timelessness that transcends the specific details of any given scene.

Simultaneously I am considering current technology, contemporary issues and personalities as I see my work as a bridge between the past and the present. My aim is to challenge viewers to connect with the more significant themes and questions of our time while also striking an emotional chord with the audience through the quality and craftsmanship of my work. I think I can produce truly timeless art that appeals to audiences of all ages by fusing the methods and fashions of the past with the issues and reality of the present.
