Architecture of Digital Existences invites you to enter a serene scene, then notice how it changes under your gaze. You step into a sunlit house with palms and a pool. Clean lines and soft color offer clarity. Look more closely, and you will see seams, overlays, and subtle imperfections that subtly shift. The image begins to ask what you trust and why.

 

The work presents a dialogue between mid-century optimism and digital fragmentation. Mid-century designs promise openness, order, and a good life. Digital textures break that promise, repeating edges, bending reflections, and revealing hidden systems. You experience attraction and unease simultaneously. This tension reflects how our perception is reshaped.

Palm trees, pools, and facades sit at the center of this language for a reason. They are icons of comfort and control. Palms measure space and light. Pools mirror the sky, producing a second, unstable image. Facades perform a public self. When these forms fracture, ideals begin to wobble.

 

The process moves from painting to animation to study time and perception. A painting fixes a moment. An animation opens that moment, so slight shifts become visible. You become aware of how your eyes edit reality as you look.

Architecture functions here like psychology. Floor plans script habits. Thresholds define who enters and who waits. Proportions set a tone that your body reads before your mind does. The work asks who designs your desires and where control quietly sits.

 

How to look

 

1. Let the geometry and light settle first.

2. Trace a single edge until it repeats or slips.

3. Find one overlay or glitch and follow it across the surface.

4. Step back and notice how the feeling of the scene has changed.

5. Ask what feels handmade and what feels machine-made, and why that split matters to you today.

 

Presenting this exhibition at the Alliance Française invites both Houston and Francophone communities to slow down together, to look closely, and to leave with sharper questions about images, memory, and the digital systems that frame everyday life.

 

 

DIGITAL CONVERGENCE - FACC French Festival 

Nov, 2025 - The Post Houston

 

Digital Convergences is an immersive video composed of layered, digitally altered sequences generated from my original paintings. It reimagines landscapes and architectural forms as psychological spaces, unstable, synthetic, and dreamlike. Grids, shadows, and fractured façades repeat with minimal motion, creating a loop that feels both planned and uncertain.

You move through shifting terrains where memory and perception blur. The absence of figures becomes the subject, inviting you to sense presence through what is missing. The work explores how algorithmic systems filter what you see, and how beauty can surface within those filters. By compressing painting into moving images and echoing motifs, it builds an unstable structure where truth feels provisional. Human imagination meets machine vision, yielding a clear yet disorienting environment that mirrors life within networked systems.

 

SAN ANTONIO DIGITAL LIGHTS - LUMINARIA FESTIVAL

I'm delighted to announce my participation in Luminaria, San Antonio’s renowned night-arts festival. This year, a highlight is the 8-story digital projection on the Staybridge Suites Downtown, visible from I-37. It functions as an architectural canvas and a festival beacon. I will showcase a new animation depicting San Antonio’s future, turning the hotel facade into a lively, futuristic portrait of the city.
