The Art of Mobilty
During one playful day in 2008, iPhone apps revealed to me how to create digital collage magic. I was able to make art on the go on mobile devices.
I blended my travel photos from Bali, India, Singapore, Thailand, photos of water, temples, forests, volcanoes, monuments, friends, animals, with my oil paintings or collages. Perfect for my impatient spirt. Rejecting darkroom rigidity for spontaneous digital blending, my spiritual photo collages embody Bali's energy—inviting viewers into abstract, meditative realms where the seen and unseen merge.
The Bali Years
Spiritual Foundations
Personal Transformation
Years of meditation and travel have shaped my art into a transcendent dialogue between spirit and form. From 2010 to 2012, I lived in Bali—a mystical spiritual island where realities fluidly shift and invisible worlds become visible.
This profound immersion transformed my outlook, into a more meditative art that explores the space between thoughts. In 2010, I accidentally pioneered my digital collages from my Bali photos: ocean waters, swimming pools, ancient temples, monuments, friends, animals, and my own paintings, all layered with apps using high-res Canon or iPhone images.
Rejecting darkroom precision for intuitive spontaneous digital blending, my spiritual photo collages mimic Bali's immersive energy—inviting viewers into abstract, meditative realms where the seen and unseen merge. This fast, unplanned way of working matched my personality: intuitive, eager for change, for transformation.
