ABOUT MY ART

Max at workMy work explores the ephemeral intersection of beauty, desire, and vulnerability. Through oil paintings, acrylics, pastels or charcoal I investigate the transient nature of experience – from the fleeting bloom of a flower to the complex body of human emotion.

My practice is rooted in a fascination with masculine fragility, challenging conventional representations of strength and celebrating sensuality in such primal form as a color stroke/point/dot. I embrace a diverse range of techniques, allowing each medium to inform my exploration of these themes. In my oil paintings pointillist figures dissolve into moments of delicate impermanence, while impressionistic flowers and environment evoke a sense of lush atmosphere and tangibility. Based in Sacramento, California, my work seeks to provoke dialogue, challenge expectations, and unveil the mythic undercurrents that shape our perceptions.
