Biography
LOST IN TRIANGULATION SERIES
With this spatial project, I have become unstuck in time. This series of Acrylic paintings reveal the surrealist inspirations, cubist aspirations, and existentialist rumination that shaped my formative years as an artist, as well as in conversation with the Op Art contemporaries: Riley, Vasarely, or Anuszkiewicz. A body of work emblematic of the trials of our time, and the promise of alternative creative genesis for a new epoch.
I was at home, stuck between three walls. If I was unable to capture life through my camera, I had to recreate it. A photographer unable to see the world appear in front of their trained eyes then seeks to think it into being. And in doing so, I create a new universe based on the elementary symbol of my own personal zeitgeist: the triangle.
There is light and feeling of all shapes and kinds. The triangular medium illuminates our shared experience of life. This is what I sought to reveal through my kaleidoscopic depictions, a reflection of the wide spectrum of emotions that our households have been through at the mercy of a mysterious virus.
