My art begins as an inner pressure—a surge of ideas that demands release. Each piece transforms this energy into form, color, and texture, balancing boldness with nuance. Shapes are my language. Futuristic, typography-inspired, and subconsciously driven by elements and echoes of art throughout history, these forms carry emotional resonance much like music. Arranged with intention, they can soothe, excite, or challenge the viewer.

Within this visual framework, moments of delicate intricacy emerge: subtle areas of exquisite detail, sometimes woven seamlessly into the composition, other times appearing as almost hidden fragments—tiny, placement-specific surprises that reward careful observation, like relics glimpsed through time. Color and absence of color amplify these journeys, creating experiences that are both calm and exhilarating, bold yet quietly contemplative.

Each work is crafted to enrich the space it inhabits, invite reflection, and reveal new layers over repeated encounters.

My Philosophy

Shapes influence everything around us. Some whisper with elegance, others speak boldly through industrial or intricate forms. Smooth or rough, simple or complex, shapes leave lasting impressions, subtly engaging us in ways we may not consciously recognize.

Shapes influence everything around us. Some whisper with elegance, others speak boldly through industrial or intricate forms. Smooth or rough, simple or complex, shapes leave lasting impressions, subtly engaging us in ways we may not consciously recognize. From a car’s curve to the lines of a building, even ordinary objects carry beauty that resonates deeply.

My abstract art explores these forms with intention. Each composition is designed to captivate and soothe, engaging the mind by gently emphasizing aspects of form, shade, and texture. Subtle color, precise spacing, and thoughtfully arranged elements create a visual rhythm that satisfies both the eye and the mind, offering a quiet sense of order for those attuned to detail. Many of my pieces are designed to be hung in multiple orientations—four different ways—allowing the viewer to shift perspective and rediscover the work from a fresh angle. Each orientation opens new interpretations, and each viewer may see something deeply personal and intimate within the forms. My art invites exploration, reflection, and a quiet delight in discovery.

I call this approach “Industrial Abstract.” Drawing inspiration from typography, futuristic design, machinery, and art movements throughout history, I distill essence rather than copy ideas, blending influences to create something entirely new. My goal is for each work to hold attention, encourage contemplation, a quiet, personal encounter with form, texture, and thought, and ultimately leave the viewer with a subtle, lingering “huh”—

My Process

I’m never entirely sure how a piece begins. Often, it starts with a simple sketch on a napkin—rough squiggles and shapes that flow out when I turn off conscious thought and let instinct guide me. Sometimes the vision arrives fully formed in my mind, waiting for details to be discovered. Other times, it begins only as a loose arrangement o

I’m never entirely sure how a piece begins. Often, it starts with a simple sketch on a napkin—rough squiggles and shapes that flow out when I turn off conscious thought and let instinct guide me. Sometimes the vision arrives fully formed in my mind, waiting for details to be discovered. Other times, it begins only as a loose arrangement of shapes that gradually evolve into something more.


From these beginnings, I scan and refine the design, redrawing the main curves digitally in my favorite design software. Additional intricate elements are sketched and fitted where needed, giving structure and rhythm to the composition. I then move into 3D, using modeling software to create elements that will seamlessly integrate into the piece. Once designed, these parts are 3D printed and prepared for assembly.


The larger forms are cut from plywood, often using CNC tools such as the Origin Shaper. These pieces are glued, sanded, and painted before plaster is carefully applied—sometimes in stages. Sometimes areas of the piece are hand-carved with an engraver’s precision with semi-tribal or ornamental elements to add depth and variation.


The final stages bring everything together. Layers of paint, washes, and subtle sanding reveal textures and edges. Resin may be poured into select crevices or elements, adding accents of color and detail that highlight the composition’s intricacies. Through this layered process of planning, building, and refining, the work takes on its own life—balanced between instinct and precision, chaos and order.

I started really drawing in 1990 in gr. 8 when I was 14. I always liked drawing, but until gr.8 I wasn't serious about art. I've done it through studying drawings and paintings on my own, so I guess I'm self taught.                                                                                                                             

I started really drawing in 1990 in gr. 8 when I was 14. I always liked drawing, but until gr.8 I wasn't serious about art. I've done it through studying drawings and paintings on my own, so I guess I'm self taught.                                                                                                                                I imitated some of my favorite Games Workshop artists of the late 80's early 90's studying how light and shadows behaved and the visual rules they obeyed. I was never into the gaming part, mainly only the art, buying all the books I could afford to view my favorite artist's work. I never copied anything. I always tried to redo elements of my own ideas only imitating the styles of artists whose work resonated with me and the way they drew their creations. Comics or superheroes never interested me. Comic book art never resonated with me. I loved the finer art styles, and the realism that came with it. Today I'm proud to say that my actual style that I developed throughout the years is a blend of some of my favorite artists. I am forever in grateful to you.
