Statement

As a geometric op artist, my work explores the intersection of form, color, and perception. Through the use of precise lines, shapes, and patterns, I aim to create visual experiences that challenge the viewer’s understanding of space and dimension. My process begins with a careful consideration of the elements that make up a composition, including line, shape, color, and texture. I then use these elements to create optical illusions and push the boundaries of traditional composition.

In my work, I strive to create a sense of movement and dynamism, inviting the viewer to engage with the piece on a deeper level. I hope that my work encourages a sense of wonder and encourages viewers to question their own perception of the world around them. Ultimately, my goal as an artist is to create immersive and thought-provoking pieces that challenge the viewer’s expectations and inspire them to see the world in new and unexpected ways.
