ARTIST STATEMENT

 

 

My external sensory experiences that come from natural and manmade materials, forms and color are the basis for the spontaneous compositions that I produce. I start fast and finish slow, so that the work can develop reactively into complex new realities. I am fascinated by how one can influence the other, how they either collide or repel, and how they can blend into a harmonious co-existence. 

With black and white works, I intentionally create ambiguity between what is positive and negative space in the compositions. For works in color, I often use micro pointillism to optically blend complementary colors. The result is a subtle vibration on the picture plane that keeps the viewer’s eye scanning the painted surfaces.
