Modus Operandi

I’ve been making art since I can remember, and began study in 2004 
with a realist approach. I have been studying the last 3 years almost, 
and I now want to express my concepts through metaphors and the
imagination… propaganda, morals, rationalism, convenience, 
advertising/consumerism… are a few of the subjects I’m exploring.
Insecurities are increasing throughout the world and it is through the 
media and advertising that we are handed ‘meantime’ happiness. 
The filtration of information and the connotations that are suggested 
to us affect the way we feel and think about our role in society, and we 
are exchanging our voices for the synthetic opinions of the media. 


“As more of our days are spent in synthetic environments life itself is 
turned into commodity. Someone makes it for us; we buy it from them 
we become the consumers of our own lives.” -Mark Slouka


I’m also very personal in a lot of my works, and there is so much more 
out there for me to say through paint and other such things.
