Bio
My work and practice reflects the influences
that have shaped my ongoing journey as an
artist. Originally, growing up in Los Angeles, I
was immersed in the worlds of graffiti,
automotive design, fashion, and the
communities that built around them. These
cultural environments continue to inform my
creative identity and connect myself to a
broader visual dialogue. Artists and collectives
such as 1UP, Gao Hang, and Nigo have
inspired my exploration of form, texture, and
style prompting me to merge elements of
streetwear, vintage aesthetics, and the layered
visual language of street art. Through this, I aim
to create work that embodies the raw,
expressive, and vibrant energy of these spaces
while investigating my own evolving sense of
identity within them. A recurring theme in my
practice is the passage of time, the tension
between nostalgia and anticipation. As an artist
navigating an unpredictable world, I often
reflect on the simplicity of the past while
confronting the uncertainties of the future. This
interplay between reflection and progression
shapes the emotional tone of my work. By
layering and reimaging my influences, I seek to
translate chaos into form, constructing a visual
rhythm that mirrors the complexity of
self-discovery. The process of deconstruction
and reconstructions allows myself to find
meaning in disorder and clarity through
creation. Ultimately, my work serves as an
ongoing exploration of identity, memory, and
transformation, inviting others to encounter
fragments of their own experiences within its
layers.
