This journey began as a casual exercise in cloud observation, a moment of tranquility amidst life’s chaos. However, as the months unfolded, I found myself drawn back to it, compelled by the relentless tide of news depicting a world engulfed in turmoil—both environmental and political. By October 2024, the devastation was palpable; destruction loomed large on the horizon. The sky transformed, taking on a deep, ominous red, infused with a sense of fury that mirrored the strife gripping the planet with a darkness, a haunting reminder of our fractured humanity. Each crack of thunder resonated with the weight of our collective anguish, as the world seemed to teeter on the brink of chaos.

With a rich 40-year career that spans art publishing, digital architecture, and graphic design, I have returned to my true passion—painting—with renewed vigor and a profound perspective shaped by decades of visual exploration. I have harnessed my extensive graphic design background to vividly convey the dynamic interplay between the natural world and the built environment. I continually evolve my style, drawing inspiration from Orphic Cubism, Synchromism, and the Precisionist movements.
