artist statement

My work lives at the intersection of precision and play — where the logic of engineering collides with the spontaneity of art.
As both a manufacturing engineer and a visual artist, I’m drawn to systems — how they break, how they evolve, and how they can be reimagined through human creativity. Whether I’m machining metal or sketching on a Post-it note, I’m searching for the same thing: evidence of curiosity made visible.

Under the banner Babin.Space, I build worlds where structure and imagination coexist. The pieces often start with raw marks — charcoal, ink, or sharpie sketches — then evolve through digital and physical transformation. My process blends analog materials with tools of precision: CNC routers, laser cutters, and AI-driven vectorization. These technologies aren’t used to automate creativity, but to extend it — turning the quirks of a hand-drawn line into something architectural, mechanical, and enduring.

Influenced by artists like Basquiat and Paul Klee, I chase a visual language that feels both spontaneous and engineered — bold outlines, symbolic fragments, and compositions that hover between diagram and dream. My imagery often features recurring motifs — birds, hearts, machines, signals — each acting like a component in a larger circuit of meaning.

At its core, my work is about transformation: of materials, ideas, and systems. Whether through a block-printed flyer, a CNC-carved pattern, or a digital experiment, I’m exploring how technology can amplify — not replace — the mark of the human hand. Babin.Space is my laboratory for that pursuit: a gallery, a workshop, and a playground for reimagining how art is made, shared, and understood.
