I am a multidisciplinary artist. From painting to sculpture, to video and even music projects, my work contains graphic language, symbolism, and images associated with masculinity that are often taken from popular culture: Rambo, Bruce Lee,, the Boxer, the Deer Hunter, the Cowboy, Subaru, Marlboro, etc. are all playing roll in the game. Thus although one can sense an affinity to Pop the works nonetheless are charged with criticism and political subtext; and in any case, they are all served with irony and humor.
