About the Artist
From an early age, I have been fascinated by nightmares, lucid dreams, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucinations, even when some of them border the realm of torment. The frequency and, most importantly, the intensity and clarity with which I experienced these things left an indelible mark on my creativity and expression. It formed one of the main inspirations for my art.Another primary source of inspiration for my art comes from my life-long struggles with depression and ADHD, and often, the work will take a more therapeutic role, through which I deconstruct fears and ideas in the hope of making sense of these things in a way which I cannot explore with words or otherwise.I primarily work in digital mediums, with occasional works in graphite and other traditional media and explorations of motion.
