Introspection
As an artist, my work often delves into three complex and intertwined themes: the subconscious, our relationship with technology, and self-identity.
The subconscious is a fascinating aspect of the human mind, one that operates beyond our conscious awareness and often deals with the instinctive and emotional aspects of human behavior. In my work, I use techniques like symbolism, abstraction, and surrealism. These approaches help me to uncover those deep-seated emotions, desires, and motivations that are lurking beneath the surface. It is all about tapping into that sense of mystery and ambiguity that makes the subconscious so damn intriguing.
I am interested in how technology has transformed our lives and our understanding of ourselves. I question the role of technology in society, examine the impact of social media on our perception of self, and investigate the boundaries between human and technology.
I am fascinated by the way we perceive ourselves and the way others see us. It is a complex and ever-shifting dynamic, in which I am always trying to get to the heart of what makes us who we are.
By exploring the interplay of these themes, my art aims to reveal the complexities and contradictions of the human experience. I hope to inspire viewers to question their own assumptions and beliefs about themselves and the world around them.
