I specialize in abstract geometric compositions and neo-expressionism, primarily utilizing high-end finished plywood as my substrate. My work focuses on linear line-making with Sharpies and POSCA markers, often incorporating masking tape resists and palette knife techniques to create structured yet energetic designs.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from the precision of geometric abstraction and the raw emotion of neo-expressionism, influenced by masters like Basquiat and Kandinsky. I am driven by the process of transforming industrial materials into functional fine art, finding rhythm in the intersection of bold lines and balanced forms.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in high-end materials and professional-grade equipment to fully optimize my home studio. This includes sourcing premium finished plywood for my tabletop series, expanding my inventory of archival markers and pigments, and upgrading my digital content tools to better document my process for my audience.
