My most recent body of work is a visualization of my personal spiritual metamorphosis which stemmed from experiences travelling up the west coast and participating in the decommodified community of Burning Man. These pieces, steeped in sacred geometry and the values of Burning Man, are part of a collective vision which is indicative of my inner journey there. My approach to the process of painting is often reflective and meditative, linking me with the sacred flow of creative spirit.
My artwork considers the reality of an internal experience and transcendence through making and viewing art by inspiring ideas about growth, connectivity, dichotomy, society, and love.
Symmetries and sacred geometry began influencing my art shortly after Burning Man, where I was first exposed to its concepts. In studying the geometries of nature and our reality I began to recognize the World as the arithmetized creation of an intelligent being, or “God”, and so its symbols became spiritual to me. The illumination of the sacred geometry in gold and yellow in my pieces serves to relate them to spirit, light, energy, and halos.
My personal metamorphosis came to it’s peak meditating under a giant pyramid structure in the desert (visualized in the second piece of this series), where I recognized the illusory nature of the ego. It became clear that the word “I”, and labels of society (poor, rich, republican, democrat) are made up ideals which separate us from nature, reality, and each other. We are therefore separated from peace and truth. My art is visionary because it is a humble pursuit to unite schools of thought and incite spiritual connection.
