My artistic practice focuses on environments—both real and imaginary—that speak to the human experience even when humans themselves are absent. In my photography, paintings, and drawings, I'm drawn to empty or sparsely populated spaces: a solitary figure in a vast landscape, anonymous people in simplified nighttime scenes, or completely uninhabited interiors. These environments fascinate me because they tell profound stories about who we are without requiring our physical presence. An empty house reveals as much about the human experience as one filled with people—the interior offers clues about its inhabitants, while the streets provide glimpses into the society that shaped them.
I often work with night scenes because darkness helps me focus on essential elements: distinct light sources, simplified shapes, and the emotional weight of solitude. Whether I'm drawing from reality or creating imaginary spaces, the figures in my work remain deliberately anonymous. This anonymity allows the environment itself to become the primary narrator of human stories. Even when my subjects are (overwhelmingly) faceless, everything I create ultimately concerns our shared humanity and the spaces we inhabit, abandon, or dream about.
