Oil on canvas, 30 × 30 inches
Painted in my signature cubist style, this work explores the tension between past and future—between what has been endured and what is still possible. Fragmented forms and shifting perspectives echo the challenges, debates, and hardships that have shaped the American experience, while the Statue of Liberty featured at the center suggests resolve and progress rather than retreat. For me, this piece is also deeply personal, informed by my time in military service and the lasting impressions of recent history. Ultimately, it invites viewers to look ahead with clarity, perseverance, and a sense of shared responsibility for what comes next.
Voyager draws from the Voyager 1 spacecraft. Aboard the spacecraft is a golden record—a message about humanity sent into deep space. In the painting, the astronaut floats in an uncertain environment, reflecting both isolation and possibility. It’s about the tension between insignificance and hope—the idea that, even within vast systems, we still reach outward.

Rendered in my signature cubist style, this painting is a tribute to the quiet dignity of labor. It honors those whose daily work brings nourishment to our tables—hands that harvest, carry, and care, often without recognition. Through fractured planes and layered color, the figure becomes both individual and universal, representing perseverance, humility, and the essential rhythms of everyday life. This piece invites viewers to pause and acknowledge the beauty and value in work that sustains us all.
This still life gathers together the quiet elements that make a room feel lived-in and warm. A soft, golden light filters through the stained glass lamp, casting gentle warmth across the tabletop and surrounding walls. Beneath it, a tea set shaped like a small woodland tree anchors the scene, its organic form reinforcing a sense of calm and ritual. Nearby, a small Gudetama egg rests beside the lamp, its relaxed expression subtly echoing the mood of a slow, unhurried afternoon.
The composition lingers on these modest objects, elevating them through careful attention to light, surface, and atmosphere. Rather than depicting activity, the painting focuses on presence—the quiet comfort of familiar things, and the kind of stillness that turns a simple moment into something deeply restorative.
This painting reinterprets Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer through a Cubist lens, breaking the familiar image into fractured planes of color and shifting perspective. The composition divides the figure into dual visual languages: one side retains a sense of recognizable form, while the other dissolves into angular abstraction, emphasizing structure over illusion. Bold passages of blue, yellow, and green contrast with muted flesh tones, creating a dynamic interplay between clarity and fragmentation.
At the center, the subject’s gaze remains steady, anchoring the composition despite its disruption. The iconic pearl earring persists as a point of continuity, connecting this contemporary study to its historical source. By reconstructing the figure through layered geometric forms, the painting explores how perception is not fixed, but assembled—piece by piece—through memory, influence, and reinterpretation.
Balancing homage with transformation, this work engages directly with art history while asserting its own visual language. It invites the viewer to reconsider a familiar image, not as a static icon, but as something fluid—capable of being seen, broken apart, and reimagined anew.
Passages is inspired by travel and memory. Architectural forms and pathways intersect in fragmented space, suggesting movement and uncertainty. There’s a light at the end of a corridor—a familiar idea—but whether that hope is real or constructed is left open. Like memory itself, the image shifts depending on how you interpret it.
This painting presents a striking still portrait of an owl, its form emerging with clarity and intensity against a luminous, atmospheric background. The close-cropped composition draws attention to the intricate patterns of its feathers, where layered strokes of warm browns, cool grays, and sharp highlights create both texture and movement. At the center, the owl’s piercing golden eye commands the viewer’s attention, acting as both a focal point and a quiet symbol of awareness.
Long associated with wisdom, the owl here embodies a sense of watchfulness and deep understanding. Its gaze feels both observant and introspective, suggesting a presence that sees beyond the immediate. At the same time, the creature retains an air of mystery—its silent posture and shadowed contours hint at something elusive, just beyond full comprehension.
Balancing precision with expressive brushwork, the painting captures the owl as both majestic and enigmatic. It stands as a reflection on knowledge, perception, and the quiet power of creatures that move between light and darkness.

This painting explores individuality, displacement, and the quiet pull toward unity. A series of distinct forms—each suggesting its own personality and story—rises across the surface, shaped by hardship and movement. As the eye travels from the lower left toward the upper right, these separate figures gradually converge, assembling into a larger, shared presence. When viewed as a whole, a unifying face emerges, inviting reflection on how collective purpose can arise from difference. The piece encourages viewers to consider connection, resilience, and the subtle ways individual lives intertwine.

This painting reimagines the dramatic narrative of Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre, traditionally attributed to Utagawa Kuniyoshi, through a contemporary painted study. At the center, a composed female figure holds a book, her calm and grounded presence contrasted by the looming skeleton behind her—a spectral form that emerges from darkness with quiet intensity. The composition balances stillness and tension, echoing the original work’s sense of supernatural unease.
Rendered in oil, the piece softens the crisp linearity of ukiyo-e into layered brushwork and atmospheric transitions. The patterned garment, the waterfall landscape, and the subtle detailing of the book connect the figure to a broader cultural and historical context, while the skeletal presence introduces themes of mortality, myth, and unseen forces. The juxtaposition of the living and the spectral suggests a dialogue between knowledge and the unknown, control and chaos.
As a study, the work engages with the visual language of ukiyo-e while translating it into a painterly, contemporary framework. It preserves the iconic imagery of Takiyasha and her summoned spirit, while exploring how these narratives can be reinterpreted through texture, tone, and the expressive possibilities of oil on canvas paper.
