My artistic practice transverses traditional painting and Digital art weaving a narrative that explores the intersection of technology and art including figurative abstraction, digital aesthetics, and the vibrant energy of rave and party culture. I draw inspiration from an array of influences including the sonic landscapes of computer-generated music, the nocturnal escapade synonymous with nightlife, and the convergence of technical methodology such as artificial intelligence and augmented reality with oil painting. In the vivacity of rave and party culture, my canvases burgeon into spectacles replete with camp, glitter, and unapologetic theatricality. Each brushstroke serves as an homage to the boundless vitality of an effervescent ambiance permeating festival grounds and dance floors.
Informed by my immersive experiences within the spaces, my creations delve into the surreal, celebrating the extravagant whilst elucidating the fluidity of motion and the emancipatory essence of self-expression and disembodiment. Dramatic fluorescent and artificial lighting create visual rhythm and movement that mirrors the energy and visual symphony that is experienced in these spaces. Using high-intensity hues, my compositions reflect the vivacity and euphoria intrinsic to party and rave environments. Each meticulously chosen color evokes heightened emotional resonance whether it be the electric azur of neon luminescence or the iridescent glimmer akin to stardust, imbuing an ephemeral enchantment into the captured moment. Conversely, my artistic explorations delve into the obscured and grotesque facets of nocturnal existence. I encapsulate visceral encounters such as the jarring reintegration into one’s body amidst the banality of a fast food parking lot, thereby inviting a relinquishment of control and embracing a sense of carefree abandon. Beauty then emerges from unconventional and unpredictable circumstances.
In addition, I combine traditional painting and digital art showcasing the dynamic interplay between traditional and contemporary artistic mediums. I purposefully harness technologically advanced programs such as generative AI, photoshop, and augmented reality facilitating a symbiotic relationship between technological innovation and artistic expression. The fusion of these mediums engenders a conduit for experimental discourse, enabling me to challenge conventional paradigms of artistic creation while pushing the boundaries of what art can be. By combining my paintings with animation and augmented reality I navigate the liminal space between tactile oil painting and the intangible digital realm interrogating the dialectic between materiality and the virtual. The boundaries between art and technology blur, and the essence of the human experience finds expression in the digital age.
