Artist Statement

            Through film and my work, I want to bring the fascination into everyday life again and the lessons that life has taught me. Something as simple as the sky, ocean, city, to the things we own and see every day is very mesmerizing but we usually don’t see the beauty in them. Through certain visual aesthetics and music, I want to show how beautiful the world and simplicity is. Through the use of color and different surreal narratives I want to touch on the themes of fate, perceptive and dreams. Some of my favorite filmmakers and inspirations come from the works of David Lynch, Terrence Malik, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Christopher Nolan.

           Films taught me a lot about the world and in a sense shaped my thoughts, ideas and beliefs I have now. Whenever I felt something but couldn’t put into words or express it, I turned to films which always seemed to put my feelings into a visual narrative I could learn and connect to it. Films had the power to make the world fascinating and makes me feel like a child.

            I began finding interest in art at a very young age since my parents put me in art classes when I first began attending school. From here I was exposed to many different styles of art that would influence my work. My favorite forms of art were cubism, surrealism, expressionism, minimalism and enjoyed simplicity. From here I realized I loved film making and wanted to create art through that medium. I was always a visual person and I always saw the world as a movie. Whenever I saw something I liked or read I would make a movie in my head rather than thinking of a painting, writing, or drawing.
