This painting is inspired by decorative tilework found in historic courtyards and architectural interiors. The upper border holds a more intact mosaic pattern, while the lower section feels softened and worn away, as if the surface has slowly eroded over time. The green palette gives the piece a quiet, garden-like presence, somewhere between ornament and ruin.
Built using acrylic, stucco, and charcoal, the surface is layered and sanded back to create a patinated, aged finish. Breaks in the pattern and exposed areas are intentional, allowing the work to feel partially preserved—like a fragment of a larger decorative surface shaped by weather, use, and time rather than something newly made.

This painting draws from ancient mosaic panels and floral reliefs, with clustered blossoms and winding stems set against a dense red ground. The composition feels both decorative and aged, framed by a structured border while the interior begins to break down. The flowers appear as if they’ve persisted through time—faded, layered, and partially lost within the surrounding mosaic, yet still holding their form.
Built with acrylic, stucco, and charcoal, the surface is worked, eroded, and sanded back to create a patinated, fresco-like texture. Areas of wear interrupt the pattern, giving the piece the feeling of a recovered fragment rather than a finished image. The contrast between the rich red field and the softened floral forms reflects an interest in endurance—how something delicate can remain, even as the structure around it fades.

This painting draws from ancient mosaic surfaces and garden imagery, with delicate plant forms rising beneath a fractured field of small white tiles and a scrolling border above.

The floral silhouettes and muted earth tones give the piece a quiet sense of growth, while the broken mosaic pattern suggests erosion, memory, and the passage of time.
Built with acrylic, stucco, and charcoal, the surface is layered, sanded, and worn back to create a patinated, fresco-like texture.

This painting is inspired by historic mosaic tilework, with repeating cloud-like arcs and star motifs arranged across a pale blue surface.

This painting draws from ancient mosaic panels and decorative wall fragments, with a central field of winding leaves and small flowering forms framed by patterned borders.
