About me

I’m an oil painter based in brooklyn, New York:)

Clothing is a language that speaks for people before they even say a word. However, I realize my wardrobe has a limited vocabulary due to social norms and financial situations. A way to experiment with identities through clothing without these problems is by renting it, taking a picture of myself in it, returning it, and painting myself in the outfit in desired scenarios afterward. My process of creation has allowed me to devour the experiences of building new identities I want to experiment with completely. There is something pleasurable about painting from a blank canvas; the layering paint process is like building a whole new identity from scratch, and it allows me to add personal touches through paint when I interpret the outfit on canvas. As painting is already a visual language, I see my work as a hybrid language with clothing as a language mixed in it.
