WORK IN PROGRESS

Alleyways and Staircases

This new series is inspired by my recent trip to Guanajuato, Mexico, a city renowned for its intricate network of alleyways and steep staircases. Drawing from the city's rich textures and layered architecture, I’ve incorporated cut-out brown paper and various paper layers to mimic its depth and complexity. Each piece is brought to life with the bold contrast of black ink, capturing the spirit of Guanajuato’s urban landscape and the interplay of light and shadow throughout its narrow streets.

Mayan line path

This is the first in a new series inspired by the art of the ancient Mayans, particularly their use of single, continuous lines in wall drawings. This initial piece features a bold representation of a Mayan head, intricately drawn with black ink on a paper-covered canvas. Measuring 42”x62”, it sets the tone for the rest of the series, which will explore the simplicity and elegance of Mayan line work, blending ancient artistic traditions with a modern, minimalist approach.

Aqua  line paths

This is the third piece in a series inspired by the diverse forms of aquatic plants, blended with imaginative, invented elements. Crafted with black ink on a paper-covered canvas, the work captures the fluidity and organic shapes found in nature’s underwater world. The work reflects the delicate balance between real botanical forms and abstract interpretation, creating a composition that invites the viewer to explore the beauty of aquatic life reimagined.
