Easy Company__2025__48 x 72”__Oil, on Canvas___ Easy Company takes a load off in the Eagle's Nest. The infamous Bavarian villas where reich diplomats would hold summits. High-ranking Nazi officials – Goering included – had generously built their own fully stocked mountain villas. Men of the battalion, along with european allies,, liberate some very pricey bottles of booze from Nazi cellars and revel in their victory. Hitler himself had already died by suicide days earlier. This is a painting of celebration and rest. Ushering in a new era of social order and the rejection of fascist ideologies.
Ama Collecting Seaweed__2025__48 x 36”__Oil, Spray & Oil Stick on Canvas___ Ama (海女) are traditional Japanese woman agricultural workers and free divers who, for centuries, have harvested seaweed, pearls, and shellfish from the ocean floor. Mid-labor, their bent forms dissolve into the terrain they harvest, merging with the seaweed. There are now fewer than 2,000 Ama left due to industrial farming. My work shows the intimacy of labour and dissolution of their traditional means of production that our current societies (for better or worse) have left behind.
Ripley__2025__12 x 12”__Oil on Canvas___ A portrait of the OG final female portrayed by Sigourney Weaver in the 79’ film Alien. If you're familiar with the film, this is the haunting moment she realizes the alien is still in the ship with her. If not, sorry…spoiler
Portrait of Anthony Bourdain__2025__11 x 14”__Oil on Canvas___ AB is both tragic and inspiring. His narrations are dry, matter-of-fact, and truly pioneering—someone who ventures into the world before everyone else and extends a hand to bring others along. Parts Unknown has deeply influenced how I see the world, people, and culture—all through the lens of one of the most humble art forms: cooking. Here’s a quote from him that resonates with me: "The journey is part of the experience—an expression of the seriousness of one's intent. One doesn't take the A train to Mecca."
a time before the internet__2025__20 x 12”(triptych)__Oil on Board___ I remember a time when, if you wanted to hang out with your friends, you had to actually leave the house, knock on their door, and ask their parents if they were home. No social media, no touchscreens, no group chats. It’s wild to think that for most of human history, that’s how it was—until about 15 years ago. I’m not sure if kids today are better off than we were back then, but at least I’ve got the perspective.
Threshold__2025__36 x 24”__Oil & Spray on Canvas___ Tension is a theme I want to explore more in my works. A chair used for leisure now a barricade. A door used to connect spaces now a wall.
Martyrs__2025__36 x 24”__Oil & Spray on Canvas___ Inspired by historical narratives of martyrdom and contemporary struggles against oppression, my work becomes a gentle meditation on the strength and vulnerability inherent in pursuing truth, justice and judgement
On the Job__2025__11 x 14”__Oil & Spray on Canvas___ Cop doing what cops do best...
Cradle__2025__36x 18”__Oil on Canvas___This painting whispers of human presence—unnatural, intrusive, yet eerily still, as if the ocean is just waiting to reclaim what doesn’t belong. The rig stands alone, burning into the sky, a quiet reminder that even in the most remote places, we leave our mark.
Pick One__2025__30 x 24”__Oil on Canvas___I’ve been chowing oranges recently. idk if they are in season or something, but I absolutely can’t eat them enough. This is my chiaroscuro impression of oranges after the rain. I’m continuing to become more curious about what I consume and where it comes from. I will elaborate on these thoughts in further works.
Ponte de Trajano__2025__30 x 24”__Oil on Canvas___ A wedding present for my friend. A first generation Portuguese this is his hometown.
Plummit__2025__72 x 48”__Oil & Spray on Canvas___ This painting represents the culmination of a couple years spent experimenting with different techniques. For a long time, I felt drawn to capturing people and the shapes of the human form, but I held back due to a lack of skill or self-assurance. I’ve finally hit the point where I feel confidant this this area of painting. In many ways, we are all in a constant state of change — Humans have traditionally been portrayed as rigid, unmoving forms. Impressionism allows us to breaks this thinking and in my opinion depict people as they really are. Complex, Living, breathing compositions.
