Most people see the final image. They don’t see the dozens of layers beneath it.

Every one of my oil paintings is built slowly—layer upon layer. Color over color. Light pressed into shadow. Some layers get covered… but never wasted. They create depth. They create movement. They create life.

That’s why the artwork feels different when you stand in front of it. The light doesn’t just sit on the surface—it travels through it.

Oil paint allows me to build translucency and richness you can’t fake in one pass. Each layer shifts the temperature, adjusts the value, and adds complexity. What looks spontaneous is actually intentional structure underneath.

It’s captivating because it mirrors how we’re built.

Depth takes time.

Brilliance is layered.

Masterpieces aren’t rushed.

And neither are you.
