Throughout my existence, a ceaseless conflict has raged within me, a captivating duel between the opposing realms of my mind. One side, adorned with creativity and intuition, dances in vibrant hues of imagination, while the other, anchored in analysis and structure, seeks solace within the boundaries of reason. My artistic spirit, once unfettered, became entangled in the clutches of conformity, as I reluctantly yielded to the dominance of my logical faculties. Engrossed in the pursuit of a professional career on Wall Street, I discovered a profound truth – I could not forsake the very essence that ignites my soul: art. Thus, I embarked on a pilgrimage back to my creative sanctuary, a therapeutic journey that set my spirit free and washed away the burdens of suppression.

​

This series of paintings, borne from a deeply cathartic and introspective experience, serves as a testament to the dichotomy within, encapsulating the two worlds that have forever coexisted within my being. Some canvases embody a symphony of structure and logic, their brushstrokes deliberate and precise (the realm of the left), while others flourish with untamed freedom, their chaos an ode to the unrestrained (the realm of the right). Yet, in truth, each stroke bears the essence of both, for I am an amalgamation of these opposing forces, and these paintings reflect the transformative power of embracing my complete self.

​

Moreover, this series transcends its visual narrative, becoming a vessel for the echoes of a year steeped in transition, emotion, experience, challenge, and profound human existence. Within its frames, one shall encounter the ebb and flow of life – the interplay of joy and suffering, the tapestry of love and heartbreak, and the dance of peace amidst change. These paintings forcibly encapsulate the essence of my journey, unraveling layers of suppressed emotions, healing wounds, and revealing the depth of my personal growth. They are a testament to the profound therapeutic power of art and the freedom it brings to the human spirit.

​

As you embark on this visual odyssey, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for accompanying me on this venture, for taking the time to immerse yourself in this shared experience. May these paintings inspire contemplation, stir emotions, and resonate with the depths of your own unique journey.
