Art Imitates Life.

 

I have always loved that statement, because it captures exactly what happens when I embark on a new project. It speaks to the very nature of art: a simple yet profound process of interpreting what the artist sees and transforming it into communication.

My journey in portraiture led me to the discipline of hyper-realism, inspired by artists across the globe whose works completely reshaped my approach and work ethic. As a student of this demanding style, I embrace the thought, contemplation, and patience it requires. Hyper-realism compels an artist to push attention to detail beyond conventional thresholds, entering a mysterious realm of nuance, depth, and pure magic.
