Art-Historical Study & Reference Library
A curated library of art-historical masterworks I collected as study and source material — from Paleolithic cave painting (Lascaux) through Renaissance altarpieces (Gozzoli, El Greco’s “Opening of the Fifth Seal”), Persian ornament, Post-Impressionism, and Modernism (Mondrian, Matisse, Picasso, Chagall). These are not my authored pieces; they are the reference corpus behind the remix and appropriation works in this category.

This is my visual library — the canon I keep open while I work, not to copy but to argue with. I deliberately mix Lascaux horses with Mondrian grids and Persian carpets because composition, ornament, and mark-making are the same conversation across forty thousand years. Almost every original piece I make is a transformation of something in this set, and keeping the references visible is honest: it shows where I started before I made it mine.
