About Me
Artist Statement
My mission is to bring forth visions from unseen realms and inspire others to connect more deeply with themselves and nature.
Through exploring archetypes, esoteric wisdom, foreign cultures and mysticism, I ground myself in distant concepts and create conversations about evolution, personal growth and our collective journey.
Biography
I started as a self-trained artist, live painting at festivals and concerts in 2011. After 6 years of live painting and showing in local galleries, I quit my corporate job, sold everything and moved to Austria for formal training at the Vienna Academy of Visionary Arts. This school functioned both as an art education program and an adept Mystery school teaching esoteric wisdom.
I was mentored by Luke Brown, Autumn Sky, Amanda Sage, Rebecca Yanovskaya, Daniel Mirante, Lucy Harding and Oleg Koralev.
While developing my unique painting style, I continued diving deep into the Mysteries, becoming an initiate of Kriya Jyoti Tantric Yoga and other practices. Multiple times, I have put all of my belongings in a storage unit and traveled across the globe on a sacred pilgrimage.
I see a direct correlation between the evolution of my consciousness and the growth of my art practice, both in my ability to receive visions and my technical ability to execute concepts.
Most recently, I went on a 1.5-year pilgrimage to 28 countries.
Selected experiences from that pilgrimage:
- Egypt
- Guided activations in the King’s Chamber and other temples with the Graceline Institute.
- Nepal
- A 30-day solo trek through the Himalayas, meditating in 4,000-year-old Yogi Caves.
- Tibet
- Attended Saga Dawa at Mount Kailash and completed a kora around the mountain, reaching 6,660 meters in elevation.
- India
- Spent a week in retreat at Sadhguru’s Ashram during Maha Shivaratri.
- Bosnia
- Meditated inside the underground tunnel system of a 30,000-year-old pyramid.
- England
- Visited Stonehenge, Glastonbury Tor, Avebury Stone Circle, and crop circles.
- France
- Visited the Mary Magdalene Cave in Marseille, Carnac, and Gavrinis in Brittany.
- Turkey
- Visited Hagia Sophia and other mosques.
- Indonesia
- Visited Gunung Kawi, Batur Temple, and Besakih Temple.
The list goes on...
I have dedicated my life to my Dharma of making artwork that uplifts others and raises the frequency of the Earth.
