Artist Statement:
For me, the practice of the Artist is an expression of the edges of experience - the foggy areas of our awareness. Through exploration, the fog clears, the edges recede, and these areas become the domain of science.
My latest work is a recent examination of fashion and beauty with a strong female lead.
I am constantly searching for balance between the power and physical presence of the woman and nature immersed in the intensity of the dense, delicate and time consuming ball point or pencil rendering.
In my works on canvas I make use of turbulent colors and amorphous forms entwining in a dramatic burlesque circus. I layer the shapes that shifts and morphs throughout time and space, using in abundance colors like turquoise and pinks. Through experience, I have prioritized the artistic resources that I think is imperative for painting the human figure. I don't tend to use models or photographs, always working from my imagination. I feel very confident in representing the human figure, redeeming the values of classical art from a contemporary perspective, being always open to change, and I am influenced by everything that moves me.
