Damaged | The Series

This series was born out of constraint—one month, nine massive canvases, no room for perfection.
​
Each piece in Damaged was created during a stretch of my life that mirrored the work itself: raw, fast-moving, unpredictable, and deeply human. I’m a father, a partner, an art teacher, a busy artist trying to balance love, chaos, and creative ambition. I didn’t have time to polish these paintings—and that became the point.
​
They are intentionally unfinished.
“Damaged,” not broken.
Like most things worth anything.
​
What you see here are fragments of dreams, moments of momentum, ideas mid-transformation. Surreal cities sprouting from eyes, overgrown by mushrooms. Urban chaos blooming with psychedelic roots. It’s a visual meditation on burnout, imagination, and the beauty that can grow when you let go of control.
​
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about permission—to create, to try, to be.
​
Thank you for holding space for the in-between.
