For nearly two decades, I have developed a body of work that defies public recognition and commercial validation. My art exists in private, not for the world’s immediate gaze but as a deeply personal, ongoing exploration of memory, identity, and the spaces between existence and meaning.

 

I do not create to sell, nor do I seek external validation. My work is not about external success or recognition; it is about the process — the rituals, the obsession, the act of creating itself. I am less concerned with how my work is consumed and more focused on the integrity and honesty of the creation. I am my own art hoarder, and in that space, I interrogate the invisible, the unspoken, and the fleeting moments that define the human experience.

 

My work sits within the tradition of conceptual minimalism, a 'meaningful minimalism,' merging the visual language of the 60s minimalist movement with a cynical, contemporary articulation of existence. This body of work echoes artists like Agnes Martin, Bridget Riley, and Maurizio Cattelan, while engaging with themes of abstraction, existential disconnection, and the fragility of the human condition.

 

In 2007, I drafted a conceptual art contract that would govern the release of my work. That contract is set to be fulfilled on December 31st, 2027, when I will retire as a visual artist and release My Unknown Visual Anthology: Volumes A – Z. This release will mark the end of a 20-year journey of intentional obscurity and private creation, a conceptual art act that is, for now, sealed in secrecy. In doing so, I will fulfill my commitment to the other me — the unknown artist.

 

Until then, my work remains hidden, a private dialogue between myself and the world. It is not meant to be viewed by the masses. It is not pop culture or entertainment; it is raw, intimate, and non-conventional. The artist is not the focus — the work speaks for itself.
