My work originates as an autobiographical

visualization of my place in the world at large as well

as my immediate environment. Often my work

describes a disturbed mental state brought on by

inner turmoil and the unpredictability of life. The

figures are portraits of different human identities

that are formed and built upon by varying

mentalities. These creatures stand-alone or are

grouped in surreal landscapes sometimes devoid of

time and space. Some figures are violent and others

are victims of physical or mental cruelty. Through

distorted forms and backward gestures I strive to

demonstrate a failed humanism present within all of

us.
