In the art world the interpretation of our feelings, reassessments and changes are constantly taking place. Artists in general are striving to look to the inner world as well as the outer world to put forth the world of in an art form.

So expressing my idea on the canvas is like an emotional journey seeking to find adventure through a creative expressive means. My search carries with it all the dangers and freedom as well as its benefits; my trials and errors have produced some of my best paintings. My designs are derived from nature and natural forms that have been “abstracted.” My direction is to simplify and express manners in non-figurative painting.

I try to create a mystery to the painting itself, aiming to evoke an emotional connection from the viewer – space, color, texture and the flat surface all demanding their own conclusions. I allow the brush and color to give an abstract kind of expression to feelings and emotions, thus the strokes, textures and color become the subject with no immediate associations with the external world; constructing space in flat, bright colors and sometimes using lines for definition.
