The Architect of US (2026)
30"x40" (76.2 x 101.6 cm)
Acrylic on Canvas
Overview
A profound exploration of shared space and human continuity, this 30" x 40" acrylic on canvas speaks directly to the quiet, foundational layers of community. Departing from high-contrast gestures, the work operates in a register of collective harmony, examining how our individual lives are inextricably woven into a larger, shared tapestry.
Narrative & Composition
The painting features multiple figures positioned across structured, horizontal bands of color, evoking a shared landscape—a communal shoreline or a collective timeline. Rather than treating the figures as isolated subjects, the artist utilizes a masterful transparency that allows the horizon lines to cut directly through the larger central forms. Far from representing erasure, this transparency signifies a profound porousness: a visual declaration that we are deeply connected to the environments we share and the people who occupy them alongside us. We bleed into our spaces, and our spaces bleed into us.
The deliberate play with scale—juxtaposing large, ethereal figures with smaller, sharply defined silhouettes—creates a powerful sense of a multi-generational community. It suggests that a collective group is never just made of the individuals standing in the present moment; it is a continuous lineage of those who anchor the ground beneath us and those who look on from the periphery. We are present across different dimensions of time, but we share the same foundational strata.
Style & Atmosphere
Through a sophisticated reduction of form, the artist intentionally withholds specific facial features. This artistic choice strips away individual ego, transforming the figures into universal stand-ins for any community member. The quiet posture of the central figure carries a grounding weight, symbolizing steady stewardship and reflection.
Rendered in an atmospheric palette of dusty pinks, soft sands, and faded sage greens, the canvas hums with a peaceful, resonant warmth. It is a visual testament to solidarity: a reminder that our strength lies not in loud, disparate assertions, but in the quiet, unbreakable bonds of co-existing in the same space.

The Gentle Beast (2026)
30"x24" (76.2 x 60.9 cm)
Mix Media on Canvas
Overview
Born entirely from the subconscious and a deep trust in the creative process, this compelling 30" x 24" mixed-media work balances childlike whimsy with a deep, mythic gravity. Rather than following a predetermined blueprint, the central figure emerged intuitively from the raw application of material—resulting in a character that feels both ancient and intimately familiar.
Narrative & Composition
The painting presents a striking, impossible anatomy that bridges the human, animal, and elemental worlds. A heavy, green-limbed creature stands on knobby, grounded feet, its face rendered with a serene, disarming simplicity that radiates quiet warmth. This gentle expression stands in powerful contrast to its complex, hybrid body.
A ghostly, stark-white human-like leg steps forward from the center of the frame, disrupting the animalistic read of the figure and suggesting a shape-shifter caught mid-evolution. The creature's head is isolated and highlighted by a heavy, cloud-like halo against a dark, night-like void, while the ground plane is anchored by a soft, dusty-pink checkerboard pattern that lends an atmospheric, dreamlike comfort to the scene.
Style & Texture
Rooted in the raw energy of Art Brut and modernist folk surrealism, the piece thrives on a deliberate "unlearning" of traditional form. The surface reveals a rich history of mark-making, scraping, and physical layering typical of expressive mixed media. Floating overlays of light blue, circular scribbles mimic the energetic white clouds in the background, creating a rhythmic, cyclical movement across the canvas. It is a highly confident work that knows exactly when to leave a line raw and when to let an enigmatic shape breathe on its own terms.

Inner Strength/Stewardship (2026)
30"x40" (76.2 x 101.6 cm)
Mix Media on Canvas
A powerful exploration of presence, stewardship, and inner resolve, this vibrant piece emerges from the intuitive Samson series. Featuring a stylized, watchful lion navigating a dreamscape of interconnected forms, the composition balances bold outlines with a rich, textured surface.
Set against a dark, cosmic night sky patterned with golden dust and anchored by a single, steady blue star, the central figure embodies the archetype of the guardian. Rather than disrupting the fragile, circular forms beneath him, his deliberate stance reflects a quiet, protective instinct—a meditation on what it means to tread intentionally and care for our shared environments. Through a striking reduction of form and an unexpected palette, this painting captures the silent, enduring strength required to keep watch over the things we build.

Ri Dic U Lous (2026)
36"x48" (91.4 x 121.9 cm)
Mix Media on Canvas
An evocative and deeply expressive work from the Neo-Expressionism series, this painting centers on a vibrant, intuitively rendered yellow horse. Moving through a stark yet dreamscape-like environment, the figure of the horse embodies a raw, unfiltered sense of freedom, instinct, and quiet resilience.
Utilizing a deliberate reduction of form and a compelling, high-contrast palette, the composition strips away the unnecessary noise of the external world to focus on the essential energy of the subject. The bold lines and textured layers create a striking visual rhythm, inviting the viewer into a contemplative space where the wild spirit is both fierce and serene. A powerful testament to moving forward with grace and inner strength, this piece serves as a beautiful anchor to the overarching narrative of the series.

The Global Appetite (2026)
24"x30" (60.9 x 76.2 cm)
Mix Media on Canvas
Overview
Created in May 2026, this visceral 24" x 30" multi-medium work stands as a darkly comedic, highly psychological myth for the modern era. Merging the raw texture of oil paint with the bold graphic immediacy of acrylic, the piece explores the themes of consumption, unchecked desire, and the casual gluttony of the human appetite.
Narrative & Composition
The painting centers on an otherworldly, elemental figure rendered in vibrating shades of acid green and sulfur yellow. Caught in a moment of ecstatic, internal bliss, the character’s closed eyes contrast sharply with an expression of predatory hunger—complete with bared teeth and a long pink tongue licking the air.
Cradled in the figure's pink hands is the ultimate object of desire: a fragile, heavily textured blue-and-white marbled sphere instantly recognizable as planet Earth. By shrinking the globe to the scale of an artisanal delicacy, the work introduces a jarring, surreal shift in perspective.
Framing this act of cosmic consumption are two floating text bubbles that introduce a sharp line of pop-art irony. To the left, a repetitive, droning chant of the letter "m" captures the buzzing, internal monologue of self-indulgence. To the right, a bold, understated "Yum" acts as a stark, satirical caption for the destruction of a planet.
Style & Impact
Channeling the rebellious spirit of Neo-Expressionism, the work updates the classic art-historical motif of the world-devouring monster (recalling Saturn Devouring His Son) for the 21st century. Instead of a horrific beast, we are confronted by an ordinary, smiling consumer. The painting derives its power from this precise tension: it frames global extraction not as a distant, abstract corporate evil, but as an intimate, personal act of pleasure. The thick, tactile oil paint used to render the continents makes the Earth look beautifully delicate against the broad, flat sweeps of the figure's dark garment.

Free D.C./The Local (2026)
30"x24" (76.2 x 60.9 cm)
Mix Media on Canvas
Overview
Completed in July 2026, this powerful, high-contrast work serves as a vivid portrait of the artist’s new environment in Washington, D.C. Merging street-art typography with raw Neo-Expressionist figure work, the painting captures the surreal, daily tension of navigating a city defined by both local culture and militarized state power.
Narrative & Composition
The canvas is dominated by a central, expressive figure riding a skateboard—a local resident wearing a cap emblazoned with the three stars of the D.C. flag, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke as he glides casually across the foreground. In the background, the Washington Monument sits quietly on the horizon, juxtaposed against a gray, stepped block containing a patrol of rigid National Guard soldiers in camouflage uniform.
Frame-right, bold black lettering spells out "FREE DC," mimicking the political posters and wheat-pasted flyers plastered across city light posts and construction sites. Across the bottom, written in raw ochre paint, reads the city's historic rallying cry: "Taxation Without Representation."
Style & Impact
Channeling the spirit of urban street art and folk expressionism, the work contrasts the fluid, organic vitality of the individual against the blocky, repetitive uniformity of the guardsmen. By placing the casual freedom of the local resident directly alongside the symbols of national power and disenfranchisement, the painting offers a deeply authentic, first-hand look at the visual and political landscape of modern D.C.

Sustenance, The Latchkey Meal (2026)
11"x14" (27.94 x 35.56 cm)
Mix Media on Canvas
Overview
A deceptively simple still life, this piece serves as a deeply personal monument to memory, class, and self-reliance. Featuring a glowing bowl of instant ramen flanked by a spoon, chopsticks, and a bottle, the composition transforms an inexpensive staple into an icon of survival and comfort.
Narrative & Composition
For the artist, instant noodles represent a lifelong thread of resilience. Raised as a latchkey child with both parents working long hours, this was one of the first hot meals he learned to prepare for himself—a ritual of independence born out of necessity. It remained a vital lifeline through impoverished college years, making the humble block of noodles a rich vessel of personal nostalgia.
On a broader scale, the painting speaks to the universal culinary anchor of the working poor. Rendered with bold, expressive black shadows and a textured yellow square resting in a glowing bowl, the meal is given space and dignity. The heavy black shadow cast by the blue spoon anchors the table with quiet authority, framing a low-cost staple not as a symbol of scarcity, but as a warm, nourishing constant across time.

The App Labor (2026)
11"x14" (27.94 x 35.56 cm)
Mix Media on Canvas
Overview
Set against a vibrant split sky and ground, this bold portrait of an e-bike outfitted with a pink cargo box examines the shifting landscape of urban labor, immigrant hustle, and economic reality.
Narrative & Composition
The painting draws a direct line between the artist's personal history and his current surroundings in Washington, D.C. At age 13, the artist began working as a food delivery boy, carrying orders directly for a neighborhood restaurant. Decades later, the nature of that labor has shifted—transferred from local neighborhood spots to tech platforms, algorithmic dispatchers, and gig-economy apps.
Observing the streets of D.C., where delivery workers overwhelmingly belong to specific immigrant and working-class demographics, the artist captures this familiar vehicle as a modern symbol of urban endurance. The bike is painted with thick, structural black outlines that give its frame an imposing presence. A single puffy white cloud in the top-left corner introduces a dreamlike halo above the machine, elevating an instrument of hard, relentless hustle into an object of quiet dignity.
