My work explores the intersections of painting, drawing, and calligraphy, guided by the conviction that science is—when fully understood—a penetrating, poetic intelligence. To me, science is not simply a collection of facts, but a way of illuminating the hidden architectures of our existence, from molecular behavior to the complexities of civilizations. When approached deeply, it reveals a sublime logic that resonates with the intuitive and emotive realms of art.
Trained in biochemistry and informed by decades of work in finance, I approach these disciplines not as subject matter but as modes of thinking. They have shaped how I understand structure, value, and intelligence as outcomes of interaction and feedback. My paintings enact these dynamics through iterative cycles of applying, etching, erasing, and reapplying paint, oil stick, clay, and Sumi ink. Each mark becomes part of a living system, with layers accumulating and influencing one another much like the layers of our lived experience.
Within this relational field, marks function as signals rather than expressions. Calligraphic forms register transmission, pressure, and continuity, capturing rhythm and flow rather than isolated intent. My process mirrors scientific inquiry: I set conditions, observe outcomes, and allow uncertainty to reshape expectations.
Ultimately, the work seeks a space where systemic logic and human intuition coexist. Through layering, removal, and reformulation, the paintings aim to make visible the quiet intelligence that emerges beneath apparent chaos, inviting the viewer to sense the depth and connective power of the systems —from mycelial networks to financial markets.
