2023 / 2024
Current in progress series: Twenty years after crafting my MFA thesis on artificial reproduction, my journey into fatherhood via IVF and surrogacy ignited a renewed fascination with the topic. Balancing family responsibilities, I ventured into a parallel career as a commercial model. Portraying traditional masculinity prompted a self-examination of my identity as a gay man, artist, and father. This internal exploration fuels my current art series, delving into the shifting landscape of manhood amid political populism, evolving family dynamics, and a culture of narcissism. Integrating my personal experiences as a father into my art proved challenging initially, but my latest works seamlessly intertwine the facets that define me—fatherhood, artistry, and modeling. Through this synthesis, I aim to scrutinize societal perceptions of these roles and their collective impact on my identity.
