 My paintings start with a color idea, and then evolve into compositions in which
color remains the primary subject. To me, art is a synthesis of personal feelings,
the subject or colors that inspire, along with the materials and techniques available.
My paintings are an exploration of these collective tools, which I believe are
the basis of the artistic expression.
Serenity and simplicity are my primary goals. Being a painter and illustrator
I feel my duty is to convey the beauty of the moment and add focus to the essence
of that beauty.
My works are based on the principles of good graphics, which comprises the use
of line, and the modeling of light and experimentation with color. A drawing is
done where the line provides the foundation for the subject. Through experimentation
with color shifts I can create contrasts. I also observe the transient nature
of light and other elements that qualifies a landscape architecture or still life.
I am interested in large areas or intimate spaces, incorporating the entourage
of people and objects and surface textures defined by pattern formations.
I use wet in wet watercolor washes, which usually sets the style for my work,
a continuous layering of pigment creating translucent glazes of paint often applied
in parts intuitively. Textures are created using a variety of techniques and tools.
Also creating depth through contrast, which in turn gives the paintings weight
and substance.
Working towards a style that combines traditional painting techniques along with
inherent personal characteristics, is the impetus behind my current body of work.
Experiences are the root of my inspirations. This generally comes from my travels
and exposure to world cultures. Perhaps this accounts for why my work seeks out
subjects that sometimes resist change and/or embraces it. Despite the diametric
of this process, my subjects inherently become snapshots usually referencing that
moment or significant passage of time.
