Biography

Versatile Artist with a growing portfolio. I started acrylic painting on an invitation from a friend during COVID. To my own surprise and delight, the paintings were good. I've continued to expanded and grow artistically since those days.

Blazing Frequencies 2025 Mixed Media, 122 x 153 cm

I enjoy abstract artwork that allows me to express myself though spontaneity, yet with some structure and poise. My creative process stems from what inspires me. I love adding texture, mediums, in an array of vivid colors together that add depth to each piece, with a bit of open interpretation. Pulling from a variety of influences like, Mediterranean/Middle Eastern expressions, some envisioned as abstract city scapes, or vocal waveforms.

Kaleidoscopic Metropolis 2023, Mixed Media, 92 x 153 cm

Since I'm also a Voiceover actor, certain painting series feature the human voice visually transformed into pure abstract rhythm. Perfectly connecting my identity as a voice over actor/artist. Then there is also my love for Music and its various instruments. My goal with each of my paintings is to have fun...all the while storytelling through my Art!

Artist Statement

I'm a multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges the worlds of sound and visual abstraction. Drawing on my experience as a voiceover artist, I explores how emotion, rhythm, and resonance can be expressed not only through voice, but through color, texture, and form.

Waves of Reflections 2024, Mixed Media/Acrylic Paint, 41 x 51 cm

In my ongoing Voice Spectrum painting series, I look to transforms the language of sound waves into striking visual landscapes. Layers of paint are applied rhythmically, mirroring the rise and fall of vocal tones. Metallic streaks glint like sonic peaks, while deep blacks and vibrant reds, blues, silver and gold ground the work in intensity and warmth. Each piece is both a visual recording and an emotional imprint — a translation of frequencies into a physical, tactile experience.
I use color, metallic texture, and abstract motion to reveal the emotion and energy inside every voice.

Crimson Echos 2024, Mixed Media/Acrylic Paint, 41 x 51 cm

For me, art and sound share this rhythmic connection. The human voice carries feeling, identity, and energy — things that can’t be measured but can be felt. My paintings capture that same invisible force: moments of expression suspended in motion. Through bold color and spontaneous texture, I seek to reveal the beauty in imperfection — the breath, pauses, and raw humanity within every brush stroke.

Sunburst Symphony, 2024,Mixed Media/Acrylic Paint, 41 x 51 cm

“My work is about making the unseen visible,” ... “When I speak into a microphone, I’m creating waves that fill the air. When I paint, I’m capturing that energy — the pulse of communication itself. Both are acts of resonance.”I translate sound into color.

Two Living Worlds, 2021 Mixed Media/Acrylic Paint, 41 x 51 cm

As a voiceover artist and abstract painter, I explore how emotion and energy move through both voice and visual form. My “Voice Spectrum” series transforms the frequencies of speech into bold waves of texture and light — capturing the rhythm, warmth, and resonance of human expression. Each painting is a visual recording of sound: spontaneous, layered, and alive.
Where voice becomes color, and sound finds its shape.
