Interior Activity brings together a group of abstract paintings exploring internal movement, residual tension, and quiet instability. The works do not depict inner states, but register their activity through gesture, layering, and interruption. Each painting operates as an open field where movement circulates without settling.

Reaching the Core is an ongoing collection that explores movement toward an internal center without assuming its stability or resolution. The works engage with the act of approaching rather than arriving, tracing gestures that circle, hesitate, press inward, or disperse before any form can settle.

The Energy of Being is an exploratory series of small-format acrylic paintings that capture states of presence rather than representations. Each work holds a moment where gesture slows, color breathes, and energy settles into form. Created as an accessible entry point into the artist’s practice, these intimate canvases invite a quiet, personal encounter with the act of being.

The Calling is an exploratory series of small-format acrylic paintings centered on inner tension and emergence. Through layered gestures and warm, vibrating tones, each work captures the moment where something insists without yet taking form. Created as an accessible entry into the artist’s practice, these intimate pieces invite collectors to sit with the sensation of a call before it becomes direction.

Remembrance explores the persistence of internal movement after an initial convergence has taken place. The painting does not depict memory as recollection, but as a residual force, something that continues to act beneath the surface, even after form has shifted.
Art TV
On my YouTube channel, I share long-form ambient videos composed of close-up details from my abstract paintings. These slow-moving visual sequences are created to be displayed on smart TVs, digital frames, or large screens, transforming everyday spaces into quiet visual fields.
Rather than presenting finished works, these videos focus on texture, gesture, and material in motion. Brush marks, layered surfaces, and residual traces unfold gradually, allowing the artwork to be experienced as atmosphere rather than image.
Art TV is conceived as a visual sanctuary — a way of bringing contemporary abstract art into living spaces without interruption, narration, or distraction. The videos are designed to loop seamlessly, offering a calm yet active presence that supports focus, reflection, and mindful living.
This channel invites viewers to discover my work through detail, duration, and repetition, offering an alternative way to engage with painting outside traditional exhibition formats.
