I paint to preserve what’s slipping away. Forgotten buildings, overlooked objects, the expressions that linger after laughter—all find their place in my work. My landscapes often hold the echo of structures lost to time, while portraits reveal not just a face, but a presence: a glint in the eye, a tilt of the head, a life unfolding in oil. I’m drawn to the tension between decay and beauty, memory and presence. Even my smallest still lifes offer a pause—a quiet moment worth noticing. Through each painting, I try to hold onto something real before it disappears.
