Behind The Work (Artist Statement)

To draw is to reach upward and pull a thread of the divine into form. These surreal, visionary pencil drawings exist in that luminous space between imagination and incarnation. They are not depictions but translations: the ineffable rendered through shadow and line.

Each drawing begins in stillness, where I listen rather than invent. The pencil moves as if guided by something unseen, tracing the outlines of visions glimpsed in the half-light between waking and dream. Figures unfold from sacred remembrance. In this way, the sacred takes shape through the ordinary grain of board, the earthly substance of graphite.

What Pucci once spoke of - the artist as one who “captures an infinitesimal part of the divine and brings it down to earth” - finds its quiet truth here. These works are vessels through which spirit and matter touch. Each mark is a descent of light, each shadow a reminder that transcendence must pass through darkness to be embraced.

My work maps the inner worlds that quietly shape existence. Each piece is a meditation on consciousness, emotion, and the architecture of the psyche – a landscape where the divine, human, and infernal coexist, intertwined, layered, and endlessly unfolding. I am drawn to the spaces where feeling itself becomes form, where grief, memory, desire, and love crystallize into structures that mirror both mind and world.

In Dreamscape, figures emerge from a complex subconscious logic. Tears become cities, emotion becomes landscape, the feminine presence does not decorate but organizes the entire space. The work is a map of feeling made visible: intricate, surreal, and impossibly detailed. The divine feminine is both origin and alchemist, turning inner life into architecture, holding light in darkness, and shaping worlds from the depths of consciousness.

Beyond The Veil extends this exploration into the macrocosm of inner and outer existence. Here, creation, chaos, and transcendence coexist. Life emerges from God’s face, the veil teaches and contains, fire of mind surges upward, and love stands as the highest organizing principle. Hell is not punishment but primal chaos, a reflection of dependency and interconnection at the base of consciousness. Heaven appears not as reward, but as clarity, as freedom, as unbound recognition of what is possible when mind and heart align. This work is a meditation on life, death, and the continuum between, where inner life shapes outer reality, and existence itself is a reflection of psychic unfolding.

Across all my work, I follow the movements of thought, memory, and feeling as they condense into form. I study, copy, and return to the figure, to the body, to the emotion – but the work itself is not technique alone. It is a living map of inner experience, surreal and detailed, where the sacred feminine, the divine alchemy of love and grief, and the light in darkness are constants.

My drawings are invitations to linger: to enter, to move through, and to recognize that consciousness is both creator and witness. They ask for patience, for observation, and for surrender – and in return, they offer glimpses of the worlds we carry within ourselves, the worlds that quietly generate life, art, and understanding long before words can name them.
