Artist Statement

Painting for me always came from a place of inner conflict. I always was a lot softer than other boys and didn’t understand how they could hurt one another. I show the confusion of growing up and having to live up to a certain ideal through raw and wild brushstrokes.  

I see the bodybuilding lifestyle that I live as an undocumented performance that informs my painting practice. I am my own muse and try to confirm as well as challenge hyper-masculine traits and features.  

Painting has enabled me to approach things that I thought or felt with more distance and to explore and imagine alternative views.
