I paint nude figures with oil paint as a way to express a specific emotion through body language, movement, and colors. I have been inspired by medieval and renaissance artists, like Michelangelo and Caravaggio, that are known to use the body to twist dark elements and themes of humanity to create powerfully raw works. My artwork gravitates towards darkness and melancholy, although I have a versatile style that shows themes of light as well. Elements I often use are skulls, blood, and movement.

My goal for my paintings are to evoke a response in the viewers wether that response is anger, calmness, isolation or feeling less alone. Watching someone react to the nature of my work can tell me a lot about who they are and what they may desire or fear. I believe that is one of the most powerful things a painting can do.
