My art delves into the themes of youth and beauty, and food and death.

Youth and beauty are often seen as synonymous, but I believe that beauty goes beyond the surface level. As I depict youthful subjects in my art, I aim to capture the essence of their innocence, curiosity, and wonder. I want to celebrate the beauty that comes from living in the present moment, unencumbered by the weight of past experiences.

But as we grow older, we become more aware of our own mortality, and the concept of death becomes a more prominent theme in our lives. Food is a reminder of this reality, life is sweet but short. Through my art, I seek to explore the bittersweet nature of this cycle, celebrating the joy of food while acknowledging that we will not live forever.

Ultimately, my art is a meditation on the impermanence of life, and the beauty that can be found in every stage of our journey. Through my depictions of youth, beauty, food, and death, I hope to inspire viewers to be present in the moment, and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around them.
