Artist Statement
My artwork is visceral, using bold colors, hard lines, and vivid detail to convey emotion and depth. I use vibrant hues and energetic shapes to express beauty and meaning. I want my work to connect with people on a personal, nostalgic level. Although nostalgia is sometimes triggered by intense feelings, it often results in improving one's mood and heightening positive emotions. I want my art to do the same.
My background in computer graphics and art history allow me to successfully merge design with fine art. I enjoy using acrylics because they are bright, bold, and extremely resourceful; accurately depicting the mood I want my paintings to convey.
In my current work, I am exploring the relationship between color and emotion, between shape and perception. I paint personal, deep rooted experiences that are representational yet dreamlike, depicting familiar sentiments in a truly unique way.
Life creates memories. Memories bring emotion. Emotion inspires art.
Art captures life." - J.G.
