The artist's statement of intent
Current concepts and work
​
My artwork is an exploration of the fascinating and often profound intersections between modern science, ancient philosophy, and spiritual inquiry. Influenced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the theory of Laniakea, Hindu cosmology, Zen and particle physics, I seek to create pieces that resonate on multiple levels—both abstract and realist—bridging the gap between the seen and unseen, the understood and the mysterious.
​
The Large Hadron Collider and particle physics inspire the abstract elements of my work, where I explore the dynamic and chaotic movements of subatomic particles. The size, type, and color of these particles serve as visual metaphors, conveying the complexity of the quantum world. These abstract forms represent the fundamental forces that shape our reality, interpreted through a creative lens that transcends literal representation.
​
The theory of Laniakea, which describes our galaxy's place in a vast cosmic supercluster, infuses my work with a sense of scale and interconnectedness. This concept aligns with the ancient Hindu cosmology that sees the universe as an eternal cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction. The patterns and rhythms found in both Laniakea and Hindu cosmology echo through my art, where cosmic order and the cyclical nature of existence are depicted through symmetrical designs and layered compositions.
​
Zen philosophy, with its emphasis on simplicity, mindfulness, and the transient nature of life, deeply influences the more realist aspects of my work. In these pieces, I explore the beauty of impermanence, capturing moments of decay, transformation, and stillness. The Zen approach allows me to distil complex ideas into their essence, creating artworks that are both contemplative and visually moving.
​
By combining abstract and realist elements, my art reflects the duality of chaos and order, the microscopic and macroscopic, the scientific and spiritual. There is always a question posed as to where realism ends and abstraction begins. Each piece is a journey into the heart of these diverse influences, where modern scientific theories and ancient wisdom converge to offer new perspectives on the nature of existence. My goal is to create a space where viewers can engage with these complex ideas, finding beauty and meaning in the interplay between the known and the unknown.
