Complex Systems

My paintings bring together color, science, and lived experience to explore how individual elements participate in larger systems. Working with simple marks that accumulate into complex color spaces, the paintings resist traditional figure–ground relationships, instead evoking statistical fields where meaning emerges through patterns and connections rather than hierarchy.

In an era shaped by big data and AI—where systems are navigated through iteration, probability, and partial understanding—painting offers a parallel mode of inquiry. These works propose painting as a space for sensing complexity before it is formalized, embracing uncertainty, randomness, and connection as generative forces.
