Art Statement
As a multidisciplinary artist, I'm driven by the thrill of unpredictability and the vibrant energy of mixed media. My work serves as a dynamic exploration of contemporary issues, drawing from painting, glass, and collage to illuminate the interconnectedness of our world.
Inspired by the colors and vibrancy of nature, I passionately delve into themes such as climate crisis, endangered species, and the impact of human behavior on the environment. Through a blend of graphic and expressive styles, my art is emotionally charged, aiming to shed light on contemporary global issues impacting biodiversity.
My creative process is underpinned by automatism, serving as the initial conduit for ideas to gradually materialize, evolving through successive layers of my artwork. Working spontaneously on a large scale, I merge minute detail with larger expressive sections, creating an ebb and flow that aims to draw viewers into a dialogue with my art.
Each piece begins with random markings and colors, evolving into intricate forms and compositions. With my trained knowledge of art principles, I seek to craft unique pieces that seek to engage and challenge the viewer. My art is a reflection of the beauty and complexity of the world around us, a call to action to protect our planet for future generations, and a beacon of hope amidst the challenges we face.

In our contemporary world, characterized by anthropocentrism, humans often assume dominion over non-human life forms. This era witnesses humanity's profound impact, radically altering Earth's trajectory and engendering a planet rife with turmoil. This tumultuous landscape is the result of powerful technological filtration, unchecked consumption, and the manifold chaos across environmental, political, economic, and socio-cultural domains—a confluence of our own creation.
I transcend the mere replication of visual reality; instead, I engage in interpretation. My creative process is underpinned by automatism, serving as the initial conduit for ideas to gradually materialize, evolving through successive layers of my artwork.
My artistic endeavors encompass diverse materials, techniques, and a palette of vibrant hues, all supported by extensive research. As an artist, I hold a profound responsibility to chronicle our contemporary milieu for posterity.
My artwork delves into narratives that often defy positive interpretation. Nonetheless, I maintain an unwavering belief in the harmonious coexistence of humans, nature, and technology. Even amidst adversity, my aspiration is to infuse my work with hope and optimism. I endeavor to engage individuals of all backgrounds and ages, fostering a sense of connection and joy.
The geometric motifs within my compositions metaphorically allude to urban expansion, where land demarcations, cartography, and architectural interventions encroach upon ecosystems, precipitating displacement and turmoil.
My art employs a meticulous interplay of symbols derived from diverse cultures, objects, and events. These symbols and the process involved to organize them helps me to distill the complexities of our world into a coherent narrative that aspires to convey a sense of order and coexistence.

''And it's in that place of feeling the Earth's injuries, and feeling it with each other-that the alchemy emerges. It's in the cauldron of sharing our grief with our community, of gazing at it together and not looking away, that the heartbreak turns to hope. Hope, an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed. We struggle between two contrasting views of humanity: one driving to a technological endgame of artificially enhanced humans, the other enabling a sustainable future arising from our intrinsic connectedness with each other and the natural world."

"I always know what I want but I never know what it looks like.
All I know is that when a painting is finished,
something I can't describe in words vibrates and activates my spirit." -Tina
