Every project has a heart of its own, which means that every project requires a unique approach to visualization. I use all the tools at my disposal – from oil paint to Adobe Illustrator and from Blender to conté crayon – to give each piece exactly what it needs. I convey every idea with honesty and realism, put forth my strongest craftsmanship, and explore the psychological drives underpinning any given concept in order to touch viewers on an emotional level. An idea should never be sold through cheap ploys that give it a flashy, trendy, or trustworthy veneer. A demanding and revolutionary idea cannot be sold that way even if we try. It must be allowed to shine forth by presenting its truth, in all the grace that befits that truth, all its complexity, and all its transformative potential.
