Art Genre: Sculpture, printmaking, film, installation
The decision to work across various genres from printmaking and sculpture to film and installation is a deliberate choice for me: I am inspired by questions of who we are and where we are going as individuals and as humankind so together we can achieve basic human wisdom. In my search for answers, I refer to history, anthropology, theology, linguistics,philosophy, and other fields of study. Whether the artwork will be a sculpture, a print or an installation depends on the fine balance between the knowledge I attain on the subject matter and the genre that will present it in the best way. While doing all this I attempt to challenge imaginations by creating a fictional world beyond the existing to conjure unrealized possibilities.
Art is better viewed in simple, clean and elegant environments like museums. Figurative Artist provides such an environment. I am honored to be a part of it.
