As an artist, I’m not interested in asking for permission. My work is about capturing the raw, unfiltered energy of a moment — sometimes defiant, sometimes introspective. I draw from many influences: the chaos of pop culture, the stillness of spiritual symbolism, and the intuitive flow inspired by Benzaiten, the Japanese goddess of creativity. I don’t follow rules; I follow instinct. That’s why my technique is so visceral — layered textures, bold distortions, fragmented figures. It’s all part of the emotional terrain I navigate on canvas.Each piece is a reflection — of resistance, of vulnerability, of the world’s noise and my internal silence. Some of my paintings shout; others whisper. But they all hold a truth, even if it’s uncomfortable. Through abstraction and distortion, I’m searching for a kind of honesty that can’t be reached with realism. I want the viewer to feel, not just to see.
