My work explores the human form through patterns that depict scenes of leisure, both real and imagined. Inspired by my background in architecture, I combine figure studies and architectural sketching techniques to create compositions where people are painted minimally and quickly, similar to the rapid gestures of an architectural napkin sketch.

At first glance, my paintings may appear detailed, but upon closer inspection, they reveal themselves as a series of intentional, simplified brushstrokes. This minimalist approach reflects both the precision of architecture and my desire to expose the components of the painting itself, much like how architectural designs often reveal the structure beneath the surface.

I work with heavy body acrylic paint and occasionally watercolor, building up layers and allowing the paint to dry between sessions. This process allows me to revisit each piece, mixing colors by hand and continuously refining the work. Each layer adds depth and texture, reflecting the fluidity of the scenes I create.

Thematically, my work centers on leisure—moments of rest, interaction, and solitude—captured through the use of people as a central compositional element. I enjoy the idea that viewers can interpret meaning from the minimal brushstrokes that form the figures, allowing them to project their own narratives onto the work. In a way, it speaks to the human instinct to form meaning, much like children who search for shapes in clouds or faces in everyday objects.
