Current body of work in progress created during the Akin MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto) residency. A few paintings and works on paper were shown at The Artist Project, Contemporary Art Fair 2020 in Toronto, Canada. 

Body of work exploring the transience of time and memory from a self identity perspective. Architectural details, nature and faces blend in abstraction to create a sense of imaginary nostalgia. Along with smaller scale paintings, works on paper were created as studies in immediate gestural strokes to capture various emotional qualities based on memory. The paintings along with the works on paper were shown at the Akin Vitrine Galleries, The 58th Toronto Outdoor Art Fair and The Artist Project, Contemporary Art Fair 2020 in Toronto, Canada.

Series of medium to large scale paintings that explore the notion of self at the intersection between conditioned reality and subconsciousness. A personal narrative of contradictions, delusions, mixed feelings and perceptions which expose painting as a process of repetitive transformations of spiritual expansion and decay. This body of work was shown at The Artist Project, Contemporary Art Fair, 2019 and The 58th Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition in Toronto, Canada.
