Eric’s passion for visual arts ignited early in his childhood, where he began by painting watercolor portraits of family members and developed his own comic book series before turning ten. His talent flourished as he mastered various mediums, including acrylics, multimedia art, sculpture, and drawing, during his education at the United World College. This robust foundation in fine arts seamlessly blended with his academic pursuit of a mechanical engineering degree, marrying his love for design and science. During summer breaks, Eric’s skills as a caricature artist allowed him to bring playful and engaging experiences to his subjects, enriching his artistic perspective.

In the past eight years, Eric’s artistic journey took a transformative turn with his involvement in EXP Journeys. This unique experience, which crafts bespoke luxury travel programs, deepened his appreciation for the national parks and the rich tapestry of American history. Immersed in the stunning landscapes and cultural heritage of the American West, Eric developed a profound connection with western wildlife and Native American culture. These new inspirations culminated in his latest collection, "The Vibrant West," where he captures the dynamic beauty and spirit of the West through his vibrant and evocative artworks.

Eric’s distinctive style is marked by bold, vibrant colors that reflect the varied hues of the Western landscape. Light plays a crucial role, often depicting natural illumination at different times of day, adding depth and realism. His energetic and expressive brushstrokes convey movement and emotion, making each piece feel alive and dynamic. The textured brushwork invites viewers to not only see but almost feel the scenes depicted.

Focusing on wildlife and serene natural settings, Eric portrays animals with majesty and respect, emphasizing their interaction with the environment and themes of coexistence and harmony. Inspired by Impressionism, his work captures moments with a focus on overall impression rather than fine details, allowing for a more emotional and subjective interpretation of nature.

Many pieces in "The Vibrant West" tell stories or convey deeper meanings, such as the relationship between humans and nature, or the strength and beauty of wildlife. Indigenous figures and cultural elements add narrative layers, connecting viewers to the historical and spiritual essence of the West.

Eric’s work continues to evolve, reflecting his journey and experiences. His latest collection, "The Vibrant West," is a testament to his passion for creating incredible experiences and his deep connection to the American West, inviting art enthusiasts to experience the region in a new and emotionally resonant way.
