Artist Statement
I am a painter who works with figurative subjects and self-portraiture. My work discuses introspection through the synthesis of queer identity, pop culture, and religion.
The ever-changing sense of self and exploration of my experiences are riddled with allusions to media that discusses what it means to be human. I like to play with juxtaposing references from comics and pulp with the vibrance of queer culture and the ancient sense of longing that comes from religious imagery.
The work has allusions to the various references I previously mentioned and is focused on using them to depict myself and others at various stages of my life. My work expresses the internal dialogues I have as a queer person. I through my work can express ideas like sexuality, objectification and feelings of being rejected by religion and biological family.
