Statement

I've always been captivated by mythology across cultures, and my work is heavily influenced by the history of storytelling. I believe our own pasts as individuals evolve into personal mythologies.

Across my work, I've created gods and goddesses that populate an imagined realm. These deities mirror human experiences—they fight, love, create, and destroy. The creatures appear as protagonists and witnesses, woven through my visual stories like characters in a book.

My "Myth" series explores this created mythology through paintings of an imagined land populated by gods, creatures, and machines. The flat, abstracted landscapes often appear stage-like, with beings caught mid-act, seemingly aware of being observed. They move toward pre-determined fates with an air of pantomime.

Within this mythology, my "Arpaïs & Sebrack" series tells a more specific story loosely based on my parents' disastrous marriage—a tale of culturally different beings coming together, followed by betrayal and falling apart. It incorporates elements from their native cultures: Samoan "pe'a" tattoo for the masculine character and Dutch Delft-inspired tiles and colors for the feminine.

Works like "Stargazer" reveal other facets of this mythological world, exploring gods at leisure as they contemplate the cosmic realm around them.
