paintings

I began painting around the year 2000, drawing early inspiration from Jackson Pollock and other abstract expressionist artists. Working on canvases and wood panels laid flat, I developed a process-driven approach using drips, splashes, pours, and improvised tools rather than traditional brushwork. I have always been drawn to the unpredictable relationships that emerge when color, gravity, surface, and movement interact.

Over time, my work expanded into oxidized metal paints, rusted surfaces, gold leaf, graphite, oil stick, acrylic, latex, and other mixed media. By combining powdered metal paints with activators such as water, rock salt, coffee, and other corrosive materials, I create surfaces that suggest weathered metal, aged stone, erosion, and the passage of time. More recently, I have also developed trompe-l’oeil works inspired by Italian architecture, Renaissance fragments, carved stone, ancient inscriptions, and devotional objects.

Original paintings are available for purchase, and custom commissions are welcome. Works can be created in a variety of sizes, color palettes, and material approaches to suit residential, commercial, hospitality, and office interiors.
