Brown Lake (U-0035)

""Brown Lake"""

Since my earliest memories, I have carried a deep passion for creative expression. My artistic journey began with explorations in watercolor landscapes and live outdoor painting, eventually guiding me toward abstraction as the truest reflection of my inner self. Today, I identify as an abstract painter whose work emerges from an intimate dialogue between chaos and control, motion and stillness, form and formlessness.

My practice is rooted in energy and emotion, transmitted onto canvas through the unconventional use of rollers and squeegees. These tools extend my reach and amplify the gesture of my movements, enabling me to create large-scale works that become more than visual experiences—they are physical manifestations of rhythm, intensity, and the unseen forces that surround us.

The clear, linear elements that often surface in my work symbolize unity, wholeness, and infinity. They arise naturally when I surrender to the process, allowing the tools to act as extensions of my body. Each stroke is a conscious embodiment of thought, feeling, and presence, requiring both discipline and surrender. This method transforms painting into a meditative yet dynamic journey of self-discovery.

Influenced by the spontaneity of action painting and the contemplative stillness of Zen art, my process synthesizes movement and mindfulness. Through full-body engagement, I allow unseen inner landscapes to emerge, revealing hidden layers of psyche and spirit. The fluorescent palette I intentionally select amplifies the vitality of nature, while dynamic textures evoke a surreal, spiritual quality. Gradations within the work serve as visual metaphors for optimism, interconnectedness, and humanity’s dependence on the natural world.

The scale of my paintings invites viewers not only to see, but to feel—to immerse themselves in the vibrations of color, texture, and light. My art aspires to transcend the purely visual and awaken in every observer a sense of wonder, introspection, and renewed awareness of the self and the universe.

Ultimately, my work is a testament to the limitless possibilities of human expression when body, mind, and spirit converge. It is both a personal meditation and a collective invitation: to contemplate the interconnected dance of all living things, to witness the power of nature, and to experience the boundless resonance of creation.
