Art Born from Cognition, Not Style 

I call it Poormanism

My paintings arise not from style or genre, but from cognition itself—a way of thinking that leaves its direct trace in paint. They do not rest easily within established categories like Cubism or Pop Art. This origin is what I define as Poormanism: paintings emanating from a cognitive condition rather than a particular style or movement.

The Core Signal: Ambiguity and Slow Looking

One cognitive signal in my work is ambiguity. Many of my pieces resist immediate closure, deliberately withholding resolution so that meaning unfolds over time. My artwork resonates most with those comfortable with longer thinking—viewers willing to metabolize the work in minutes, not seconds. This means my work is not solely "decorative," but aligns with the spirit of Slow Looking and the broader Slow Art Movement.
