ARTIST STATEMENT
Surface Studies
My work explores material, texture, and surface through a reduced visual language. I combine acrylic paint with unconventional elements such as sand, dirt, concrete, and charcoal to investigate how different substances behave on canvas.
The process is physical and open-ended. I work with simple tools and low-cost materials, building surfaces through layering, removal, and chance. In some cases, I use combinations like oil and acrylic to create subtle separations and fine traces.
Rather than following fixed compositions, the paintings develop through repetition and variation. Small shifts in texture, density, and form become central to the work.
