SMOKE AND
MIRRORS

is a new series of paintings two years in the making, exploring themes of nihilism and memento mori. The works move through shadow and illusion, where forms appear and dissolve, and beauty sits beside decay. What first feels dark slowly reveals a quiet tenderness beneath the surface.

Rather than dwelling in despair, the series approaches impermanence with curiosity and subtle humor. It invites viewers to confront the nature of existence and in doing so, discover clarity, connection, and an unexpected sense of light.
