About my Art

Awakening to Art: a Lifelong Journey 

Art has always been my sanctuary—a place where imagination and creativity offered solace and inspiration. As a child, I was naturally drawn to drawing and the world of make-believe. But it was one profound encounter that crystallized my path.

I remember standing before Rembrandt’s The Raising of Lazarus at just seven years old. The sheer power in Rembrandt’s use of light and composition—how he depicted a divine force breathing life into an inert form—left an indelible mark on me. I realized then that art transcends time—that a single work could connect me to an artist who lived centuries before. In that moment, I knew that creating art wasn’t just something I loved—it was something I was meant to do.

Today, I strive to channel that same transformative power in my watercolor paintings. Whether capturing the ethereal movement of ocean waves or the surreal beauty of dreamlike landscapes, I aim to evoke a sense of awe and connection—inviting viewers to experience the timeless resonance that first inspired me.

When you bring one of my pieces into your life, you’re not just acquiring a work of art—you’re sharing in a journey of wonder, one that began with a seven-year-old boy staring up at a masterpiece and feeling the spark of destiny.

My Why

Painting Dreams , from surf breaks to surreal visions, my art invites you into a world where nature and imagination collide. I create watercolor art inspired by the power of waves and the wonder of dreams—each piece captures a magical moment, real or imagined. I want my paintings to evoke a sense of awe and wonder. I watercolor because the media's fluidity mirrors the very subject I often depict—the ocean. My process begins spontaneously, allowing water and pigment to flow freely across the paper in wet-on-wet washes. I work from light to dark, layering transparent color to slowly define light, form, and texture. Through this expressive craft, each piece emerges as a portrait of the surreal beauty of the sea—dreamlike, luminous, and alive.
