Two hands in ecstasy (14x17 inches, graphite pencil, white charcoal, and walnut ink on paper)

In my continued exploration of art, I remain devoted to centering humanity—not just as subject, but as essence. Every stroke, every texture, every material I choose serves as a conduit for the expression of universal existence itself. I find inspiration in the Renaissance belief that humanity stands at the center of the universe, as a reflection of creation, an idea that pulses through my work as I study the human form, not as a mere physical structure, but as a vessel of thought, memory, and emotion.

Study of a hand (7x10.2 inches, watercolor on paper)

Whether through the luminous layering of paint, the weight of texture, or the interplay of light and shadow, I aim to capture the depth of what it means to be—to exist, to feel, to reach outward and inward all at once. This is not just an artistic pursuit; it is an ongoing conversation with time, with history, and with the fundamental essence of who we are as humans.
