My work examines how images gain authority, and how painting can complicate and reshape that authority. I depict figures, landscapes, cityscapes, and places marked by the passage of time. The figures in my paintings are present but not fixed within a clear narrative, and the spaces they occupy suggest history without becoming illustrations of it. I am less interested in telling stories than in creating a sustained atmosphere and sense of presence. As I paint, I allow the image to remain unsettled, leaving small frictions and shifts visible rather than resolved. Through a continuous negotiation with the surface, a quiet presence emerges from instability and tension rather than assertion.
