The central theme in this work is a glimpse of a possible futuristic earth, and how our world could be affected by present human activity. I explore topics like digital technology, pollution, warfare, politics, and destruction. Each piece is an idea, or a hypothetical projection. It is not an attempt to warn against or prevent certain activities, but simply a reflection on the issues that surround humanity. For example, I show how, soon enough, human urbanization may define what ‘nature’ is to many species as “civilization” continues to expand and engulfs most of the physical world. I also explore the ironic contradiction inherent in our civilization: the pride that humans seem to have for nature, illustrated by the exotic and rare Panda, juxtaposed against the relentless destruction of their environment. The gasmasks in some of my artwork reflect how far humans will go to destroy the Earth while at the same time come up with last minute solutions, just to rescue themselves and keep going. I also try to capture the calm resignation that most of us have as we adjust to these changes.  For many of my works, to convey this “multilayered” message I often layer many techniques in a single piece. I create a background of newspaper clippings over cardboard and dull them with acrylic gesso.  Then I paint my theme with acrylic paints and using stencils I make with cellophane sheets, I spray paint images into the scene. Artists that have had a major influence in this work include Banksy, Shepard Fairey and Sandow Birk.
