Growing up as a middle class, biracial male from San Jose California, I only had two ways to express myself. One way was playing football and the second was expressing myself through art. Art has always been a form of stress relief throughout my life, helping me with direction and aiding with my growth as an individual. Being a racial hybrid has had a major effect on the way I view art and the way I approach my craft. I choose to work with an assortment of mediums because, each medium creates its own unique vocabulary. I feel it allows me to create my artistic vision without abstraction. Working in an interdisciplinary style gives me the opportunity to use multiple languages of art and pushes the limit of what I consider to be acceptable art. I am interested in capturing the movement of life in its organic form and intensifying it into what I believe is quality, meaningful pieces of art. I get my inspiration from my childhood love of street art, art history, current topics, love, pain, life experiences, and 18th century oil painting. At this time, I am focused on the removal of the brush stroke, while still taking a painterly approach to creating my work.
