STATEMENT
My journey as an artist has always been deeply intertwined with my love for animals and nature. I find endless inspiration in the flora and fauna around me. This passion is the heart of my work at Parallel Barking, where I strive to capture the essence of nature’s wonders through bold colors and intricate designs.
One of my greatest influences is Chuck Jones, whose minimalist yet vibrant approach to graphic arts has profoundly shaped my own style. His ability to distill the essence of his subjects into striking, colorful compositions and interpretaions resonates deeply with me. Alongside Jones, I draw inspiration from other modernist artists who celebrate the natural world with vivid palettes and dynamic forms.
Through my art, I aim to create a bridge between the viewer and the enchanting world of nature, inviting them to see the beauty and complexity that I cherish so much. Each piece is a reflection of my personal journey, a testament to the profound impact that nature and its creatures have had on my life.
