About Talon
When conceptualizing my work, I carefully organize the elements that shape both my emotional expression and the message I aim to convey. This includes composition, choice of medium, subject placement, and overall structure. I also focus on crafting a distinct mood through light, color relationships, and the unique details that make each subject or person one of a kind.My work is deeply influenced by how I process and explore profound emotional events. It serves not only as a way to convey mood and meaning to the viewer but also as a personal means of reflection. By embracing the beauty of the ever-changing natural world, each piece carries both purpose and insight, creating a connection between my experiences and the viewer’s interpretation.
