The world, painted from memory.
A warm-uncanny folk language of stacked space, lopsided forms, thick unblended color, and the resistant drag of a dry brush across rough board. Its intentional awkwardness turns portraits, tools, rooms, plants, and landscapes into direct symbolic images rather than polished illustration.
One visual language across portrait, fashion, interior, architecture, process, object, botany, and landscape.
Faces and full silhouettes reveal how the style handles identity, proportion, and clothing. Wobbly contours change thickness mid-stroke while deliberately lopsided, anti-academic shapes favor symbolic clarity over natural proportion.
An interior and an architectural threshold test depth, light, and spatial rhythm at two different scales. Flat stacked planes, overlap-only depth, edge-to-edge density, and irregular border rhythms create a compact handmade visual world.
A process image and a still life show whether the treatment stays tactile both in motion and at rest. Starved dry-brush drag, bristle tracks, chalky opacity, and rough substrate grain interrupt every color field and edge.
Organic forms and a shared food ritual put color, softness, and visual appetite under pressure. Cobalt, vermilion, coral, yellow, olive, bone, and charcoal meet as dense opaque slabs with almost no gradient or naturalistic light.
A close material study and an open landscape show how the same sensibility travels from detail to horizon. Opaque gouache, casein, and dry-brush pigment dragged across coarse board with blunt hand-painted contours
