In 2005 I began developing a few series of artwork in which depictions of animals played a prominent role in expressing themes relating to nature, spirituality, and the existential search for meaning.

One of the main series that arose includes my Deep Thinkers series, in which
various animals are juxtaposed with evidence of human thought, in the form of mathematical equations, quotes, definitions, musical scores, etc. These pieces depict a zen-like transcendent bridge between conceptual thinking and animalistic consciousness.

The other main series is termed Synchronal Variety - larger paintings that combine decorative abstraction and meticulous photorealism in a contemporary wabi-sabi aesthetic.
