Egregore
In this series I begin each work in Blender where I carefully construct intricate figures and architectural modules. Working digitally allows me to explore complex spatial relationships and experiment with the scene before translating it onto the canvas.
The 3D stage gives the work a foundation and structure while leaving room for unexpected developments as I paint.
I think of each composition as an intimate stage where characters and objects come together to evoke layered emotions. My inspirations range from Kabuki theater to social media, from the physical intensity of sports to the immersive worlds of video games. These references feed into the work, helping me create scenes that capture fleeting yet powerful moments and invite the viewer into a shared but deeply personal experience.
The concept of the egregore is central to this series. I see each scene as a manifestation of collective energy, a living group consciousness shaped by shared thoughts, emotions, and intentions.

Just as an egregore gains life and influence through the focus of its community, these works draw vitality from the attention and engagement of those who encounter them. Painting becomes a way to make visible the unseen forces that shape social and emotional life while creating spaces where viewers can feel the presence of that collective energy.
