Artistic Statement & Lineage

My work exists at the intersection of realism, symbolism, and inner vision.
I paint worlds that feel remembered rather than invented — images that seem to rise from dream, myth, and quiet observation.
I consider myself a Knight of the Brush: not as a role, but as a discipline.
To paint with devotion, patience, and responsibility toward beauty is, to me, a form of guardianship.

Lineage & Influences

My artistic lineage is not singular — it is layered.
From Leonardo da Vinci, I inherit the union of mind and image:
the belief that art is a form of inquiry — anatomical, geometric, emotional, and metaphysical.
His work reminds me that intuition must be supported by structure, and that beauty is intelligent.
From Raphael, I draw clarity, harmony, and compositional grace — the ability to make complexity feel serene and inevitable.
From Botticelli, I carry mythic elegance and symbolic femininity, where gesture and presence transcend realism.
From William Blake and the Pre-Raphaelites, I inherit vision — art as revelation, as poetic truth rather than documentation.
My work does not imitate these masters.
It listens to them.

Symbol, Myth & Archetype

I work with recurring archetypes that surface naturally across my paintings:
The Bird — flame, feather, messenger, transformation
The Feminine Figure — priestess, queen, oracle, guardian
The Back-turned or semi-profile woman — mystery, sovereignty, inner knowing
The Blade / Sword — clarity, protection, truth
The Eye — vision, awareness, crossing between worlds
My imagery moves through elemental realms:
fire, water, garden, lake, sky, cosmos — places of passage rather than destination.
These symbols are not decorative.
They are structural — a language through which meaning organizes itself.

Geometry, Structure & Hidden Order

Beneath softness, my work is governed by structure.
I am deeply influenced by:
Sacred geometry
The Golden Ratio
Rhythmic proportion
Circular and axial balance
Halo forms, thresholds, and orbits

Even when unseen, geometry anchors the image.
It gives the painting its calm authority.

Materials & Mediums

For my physical work, acrylics are my primary medium — chosen for their layering potential, luminosity, and responsiveness.
I work with:
Acrylic painting (primary focus)
Experimental metallics and custom golds (including Unicorn Gold)
Drawing and preparatory studies
Occasional mixed techniques

My palette is intentional and symbolic:
gold, silver, soft pinks, whites, greens, muted blues, and controlled shadow.
Each color is chosen not only for harmony, but for frequency.

Digital Practice & Contemporary Tools

Alongside traditional painting, I also work digitally — including digital painting, design, and experimental image generation.
Artificial intelligence, in my practice, is not a replacement for art.
It is a conceptual sketchbook.
I use AI as:
A visual brainstorming tool
A way to explore atmosphere, symbolism, and composition
A contemporary extension of collage, reference, and imagination

All final artistic authority — decision, refinement, meaning — remains human, embodied, and intentional.
My paintings are made by hand.
My vision is authored by me.

Philosophy

I do not create to decorate.
I create to hold space.
Each work is meant to offer:
Stillness
Presence
Emotional clarity
A quiet return to inner landscape

Softness, in my work, is not fragility.
It is strength without noise.

Closing

My atelier is not a factory.
It is a sanctuary of attention.
Those who step into my work are not only viewers —
they are witnesses to a living process of perception, memory, and care.
