Artist Statement

As an intuitive creative thinker, [ i ] delves into study, research, and conversations—both deep and unassuming—with familiar faces and strangers alike to explore complex perceptions on sensitive topics such as politics, religion, and society. By observing the cycles, triggers, and the interplay of cause and effect in myself and others, [ i ] seeks to unravel how our individual and collective circumstances shape the realities we inhabit.

Through this reflective process, [ i ] creates paintings, sculptures, writings, and interventions that compel us to consider the psychological landscape of our times and history. These raw and unfiltered works invite audiences to question what has become normalized in everyday society—perceptions shaped by experience and the uncontrollable impulses of ego, informing our unconscious beliefs that have evolved from misinformation over time.

In Latin, [ i ] translate to “ego”—a reminder of the self and the complexity of our shared human experience.

B[ i ]ography

[ i ] is the lifelong practice of an artist who has always been drawn to the unseen currents beneath human experience.

Raised in an environment shaped by generational trauma, addiction, and survival, [ i ] began studying human behavior instinctively — first as a child, later as a photojournalist documenting politics, grief, and resilience. Through years spent witnessing private truths behind public performances, [ i ] grew into an artist devoted to exposing the forces that quietly shape our beliefs, fears, and desires.

The creative process behind [ i ] is deeply intuitive, research-driven, and emotionally charged. It moves freely across mediums — from painting, sculpture, and writing, to interventions and reimagined objects — led by a need to give form to what is often left unspoken. Dreams, visions, memory, and history are equally present in the work.

At the core of [ i ] is a meditation on ego: its pain, its defenses, its capacity to mislead and to heal. Each piece invites audiences to pause and reckon with the psychological landscapes we all inherit and recreate, often without realizing it.

The artist welcomes collaboration, commission, and conversation — always in the spirit of honest inquiry and shared experience.
