Every emotion has structure.
It rises, expands, collapses, and rebuilds — just like cities, cathedrals, or landscapes shaped by time. In my art, I try to give emotion a home — a form that can hold what words cannot.
I see each feeling as architecture waiting to be revealed. Joy arches upward like light through glass. Grief folds inward, constructing corridors of shadow. Love — the rarest blueprint — curves endlessly, never quite finished. When I paint, I’m not building with concrete or stone; I’m building with memory, color, and rhythm.
Abstract art allows emotion to become physical. A curve can contain mercy. A fracture can speak forgiveness. The angles of composition — even in digital form — mimic the scaffolding of the soul. Every texture is a window, every void a doorway.
To me, emotion is not chaos — it’s design. Even pain has symmetry when seen from a distance. Every heartbreak leaves behind a pattern, and every dream sketches new geometry in the mind.
Collectors often ask how I know when a piece is complete. My answer is simple: when the architecture of feeling stands on its own. When it no longer needs me to explain it.
In the end, emotion builds us as much as we build it.
The art simply makes that truth visible.
