I create graphite, oil, and digital media works that combine anatomical precision with surrealist imagery. My pieces show the human body in states of exposure: muscles, bones, and neural pathways revealed alongside intact forms.
Science training taught me to render anatomical details accurately. But my art goes beyond medical illustration. I'm interested in that uncomfortable space where something looks human but feels wrong. When I peel back skin to show what's underneath, I'm asking viewers to look at vulnerability and fragility in a direct way.
My work returns to certain images: exposed anatomy, psychological distress, environmental destruction, transformation. These show up because I think about boundaries and what happens when they break down. Inside becomes outside. Clinical observation mixes with raw feeling. Beauty exists next to horror.
I draw pores and tissue with the same care I use for cosmic explosions or environmental collapse. This attention to detail matters because the body deserves to be seen clearly, even when (especially when) that view is uncomfortable.
Historically, marginalized bodies have been put on display without consent or dignity. My work acknowledges this exploitation while trying to reclaim the act of looking. When I deconstruct bodies in my art, I'm challenging how we judge and objectify physical forms. I want viewers to sit with that discomfort.
What's beneath our skin? What does vulnerability actually look like? My work suggests that decay can be beautiful, that weakness contains strength, and that the disturbing and esoteric can inspire wonder.
