My artistic practice draws significant influence from my previous work experience as a general contractor and HVAC maintenance technician, which dates back to 2015. I am particularly fascinated by the often overlooked and undervalued labor and dedication involved in constructing the spaces we interact with on a daily basis. I refer to this as "invisible labor." Through my art, I aim to shed light on the personal experiences of myself and my co-workers, emphasizing the human elements that are frequently disregarded when considering workers.

Central to my practice is the exploration of the relationship between figure and background within the two-dimensional plane, situated within the broader context of the history of representation. This approach allows me to reconfigure and reconsider our connections with ourselves, each other, and our surroundings. In many ways, my work serves as a contemplation of the painting itself and the physical space it occupies. By bridging the gap between traditional fine art and the world of construction, I aim to challenge conventional boundaries.

In my recent works, I employ non-traditional painting tools such as masonry and drywall tools, alongside traditional oil painting techniques and expressive gestures. This intentional use of materials mirrors the ongoing discourse regarding the materiality of my work, emphasizing the fusion of artistic and construction-related discussions.
