Art Statement
I wish my art to be seen as one would read poetry, hopeful that one would wander into its imagery... I do not have a message, only the need to express the feelings that flow through me and the desire to create beauty.
I work mostly with pen and ink, pastels and oils. From my body of work, two distinct styles readily emerge. The first is narrative, a kaleidoscope of images representing consciousness that often suggests ever-changing boundaries, ephemeral frontiers, one form creating another, a constant transformation of energy.
The second comprises landscapes, romantic sceneries where colors and shapes are tangible forms of emotions. Both escape time and space while expressing the spirit that I share with a river, a butterfly or a tree. |
