I am an artist with an immense curiosity in the nature of reality. And reality isn't what it's been cracked up to be!

The insights of modern science point to a universe that's undivided, in which all parts merge and unite in one totality. The ultimate nature of physical reality is not as a collection of separate objects (as it appears), but instead an undivided whole in a dynamic state of flux. Inspired by these findings I create artistic metaphors reflecting this more challenging view of a very new kind of reality.

My work explores the territory between the world ‘out there’ and our very different 'worlds within’. My paintings portray the fact that our perceptions of solid reality are as deceptively virtual as everything else in a world the mind molds as readily as plastic. My techniques in painting as well as in sculpture also involve a fusion of materials, outlooks and diverse inspirations.

Building on the synthetic intensity of digital art, my figurative style depicts a familiar but warped daily life. The artworks are a medley of the virtuality of our perception represented by digital elements and the tangible reality of our daily lives represented by ‘real’ substances like acrylics, gilding, glass paint and epoxy.

My aim is to help administer a small dose of inner perceptiveness! Looking into and beyond the canvas, I hope we will find new ways to narrate what we see. Each piece has its own narrative, designed to stimulate the audience to reflect on the blurred playground that bridges the visible and invisible, reality and perception. ‘What is reality?’ is the central theme across the series and in each work, we glimpse a fraction of it, before it escapes.

Each mind always contains the whole picture, but with a limited perspective. Because we each have different experiences, each perspective is also valid and equally distorted. Our brains mathematically construct objective reality by interpreting frequencies that are ultimately projections form another dimension, a deeper order of existence that is beyond both space and time.

My endless questioning the nature of our existence stems from an insatiable curiosity and an unfathomable love for truth. I believe in the sacredness of the human experience. Art is a canvas to mutate my curiosity into a form I can share – to transfer scientific and spiritual curiosity into pictures - to give form to the formless.
