Artist Statement
My art practice has evolved into an exploration of color and surface texture, where I let the medium guide its course, revealing nuanced shifts as layers overlap. The wheel, often depicted as concentric circles or radian spokes, serves as a grounding symbol, reflecting my immersion in Tibetan and Hindu traditions. Inspired by pioneers like Albers, Klimt, Kandinsky, and Thomas, I channel devotion into the elemental forces of color, line, shape, texture, and space, delving into the infinite depths of color.
