My latest work consists of constructed landscapes which could be seen as portals into the future. They create new environments by using segments of existing landforms as building blocks. Will they be inhabitable? What is the role of human interference in the formation of this new scenery?

The unparalleled beauty of the landscapes that surround us is often in tension with the compromised environments that they represent. My paintings are attempting to investigate the complex intersection of fragile natural beauty and the impact of human intervention.

In the developmental stage, found images used as reference material are fragmented and integrated into painted scenes. This part of the process allows for new discoveries and connections that lead to their own creative conclusions. For example, layering images that were previously in a different context and finding newly discovered passages from one to another.

The surroundings which are both built and natural, provide an immersive space that transports the audience in the suggested version of the altered environment. In this way, the content is not merely a warning but provides immediate impact and urgency through singular visual means that question the societal choices in our communities and connect them globally.
