Barragan (1)
- 24 x 20 in
This acrylic painting on cradled board, with china marker and pen, draws inspiration from Luis Barragán’s Cuadra San Cristóbal in Mexico City. Influenced by Barragán’s bold forms and vibrant colors, the piece blends warm earth tones, bright yellows, and expressive brushstrokes to capture the space’s energy and light. Gestural lines and layered textures reflect a balance of structure and spontaneity, evoking the interplay of architecture, nature, and memory. This work conveys the lasting impression of a space that feels both grounded and alive. This piece was awarded Honorable Mention prise in Teravarna 10th Open Juried Art Contest,

Red Car
- 36 x 30 in
This acrylic painting on cradled board captures the quiet intersection of nature and forgotten human traces. An abandoned red car, hidden in an overgrown canyon, serves as a focal point—both out of place and strangely at home as it’s slowly reclaimed by the landscape. The composition balances deep greens and earthy tones with the striking red of the car, creating a contrast that draws the viewer into the tension between the human-made and the natural world. Loose brushwork, layered textures, and abstracted forms reflect the way memories of places blend familiarity with mystery. This work explores themes of impermanence, history, and the quiet beauty of forgotten spaces. It was awarded an Honorable Mention in the Teravarna 7th Color Juried Art Contest.

Twelve Hundred Faces (3)
- 20 x 24 in
This acrylic painting on cradled board is inspired by my visit to Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple near Kyoto, where over 1,200 unique stone sculptures stand among moss-covered vegetation. Created under the guidance of sculptor Kocho Nishimura in the 1950s, the statues reflect both individuality and spiritual connection. The painting combines deep greens and earthy tones to evoke the lush environment, while layered textures and abstract forms hint at the weathered carvings scattered throughout the landscape. The composition conveys the surreal beauty of the site, blending nature, creativity, and time. Selected for the 62nd Stockton Art League Juried Exhibition at the Haggin Museum.
