Every face tells a story.
My work investigates the intersection of human emotion, technological systems, and power structures through heavily layered oil painting and digital art. Drawing on my architectural background, I approach both physical and conceptual spaces as constructed environments that shape human experience.
My oil portraits create "emotional topologies," investigating how abstraction reveals deeper truths about human experience. This approach has evolved over time, unpacking new processes and techniques that dive deeper into the emotional landscapes we inhabit. The heavily layered surfaces—sometimes reaching 20 layers of paint—create physical manifestations of psychological depth.
These explorations naturally extend into my digital work, where similar concerns take new forms. Each piece invites viewers to discover how emotion, technology and power truly operate: not just through experience but through the complex networks, algorithmic systems, and technological interfaces that mediate contemporary influence.
My work attempts to make visible these hidden architectures of feeling and control, encouraging audiences to question the nature of identity and agency in our increasingly digital age.
The array of paintings found here exemplify this investigation—each textured surface representing the complex layers of human emotion that exist both within and beyond technological mediation.
