At the intersection of scientific precision and emotional disquiet, my work excavates the borderlands between flesh and psyche. Through graphite, oil paint, and digital media, I create meticulously rendered images that peel back layers of the familiar to reveal unsettling truths beneath.
My artistic practice is anchored in the marriage of anatomical accuracy with surrealist vision. Each piece deliberately traverses the uncanny valley, that unsettling terrain where the recognizably human meets the profoundly alien. By exposing musculature, skeletal structures, and neural landscapes alongside intact human forms, I invite viewers to confront the fragility that exists beneath our composed exteriors.
The recurring motifs in my work (exposed anatomy, psychological distress, environmental destruction, and transformation) serve as visual metaphors for vulnerability in an increasingly fragmented world. I am particularly drawn to moments of revelation where boundaries dissolve: between inside and outside, between scientific objectivity and emotional resonance, between beauty and horror.
My background in the sciences disciplines informs the precision with which I approach the human form. Yet my art reaches beyond mere illustration toward a deeper exploration of embodied experience. This duality allows me to render the intimate details of pores and tissue with the same attentiveness as cosmic explosions and environmental collapse.
By deliberately placing viewers in uncomfortable proximity to deconstructed bodies, I challenge conventional notions of bodily integrity and invite reflection on how we collectively perceive, judge, and objectify physical forms. This deconstruction serves as both critique and reclamation, in acknowledging the historical exploitation of marginalized bodies while simultaneously empowering them through unflinching representation.
Ultimately my work asks, what lies beneath our shared fragility? In revealing the beauty within decay, the strength within vulnerability, and the wonder within perhaps the esoteric and revolting, I aim to create a space where viewers can contemplate the paradoxes of existence and find meaning in our complex, interconnected nature.
