Artist Statement

I create layered, hybrid forms of painting, animation, collage, and projection mapping that shimmer between stillness and motion, sacred and disposable, analog and digital, real and imagined. These works unfold spatially, through feedback loops, distortion, and accumulation rather than through linear narrative. I work across mediums and boundaries, intentionally doing things “wrong” to reflect the impossibility of wholeness in a dying culture. Strange reflections, fractured translations, and flawed copies aren’t errors, they are the language.

The process is cyclical: paintings are photographed, corrupted, animated, and projected back onto themselves, generating recursive transformations. Materials include broken TV screens, plexiglass, and discarded diffuser sheets—surfaces already haunted by the ghosts of digital culture. Doomscrolls, porn, anime, Western mythology, Dominican folklore, and internet junk are not just aesthetic references, but sites of rupture—portals that expose the hidden knowledge beneath a curated reality.

This is art as ritual—part spell, part survival strategy. Rooted in magical realism and spiritual inquiry, image-making becomes invocation: a way to channel the chaos and contradiction of being human in a collapsing world. The work navigates queerness, masculinity, alienation, diaspora, inherited trauma, and the hidden violence of institutional “truth.” A flickering mythology offering a vision of healing, transformation, and survival.
