A profound psychedelic experience happened to me once that changed my whole outlook on life. At the time, I was wading in the water with no direction and no desires. I believe when you're lost you look for guidance in many forms, whether it be religion or mind-altering substances. I found mine in both. The trip came at me like a ship trying to navigate through a storm. When the storm passed, a golden light shined through the ceiling as if Gods grace was shining onto me. At that moment a sense of total bliss I had never felt before consumed me.
A way was shown to me. A way out of misery and a way to pursue my happiness. Fractal lines danced across my eyes and it's at that moment I decided to go back to my first love and begin creating art again.
My work is deeply symbolic of my experience as I have incorporated the fractal lines into my paintings. Transcendence and meditation are common themes in my work. The reaction I hope to achieve is for the viewer to decide. Everyone has their own struggles in life but the one thing that is constant is purpose.
