Artist Statement:
I define myself as a
figurative draftsman and
painter. In my studio, my aim
is to create visually engaging
images in which human figures
exhibit a quiet intensity
while their surroundings
support the color and
composition of the piece. I
understand I am balancing on
the edge between abstraction
and realism. Elements from
reality are used to express
emotion, message, and
character. Color, blocking,
and line remove it from the
representation of reality. I
am after a mood, a single
statement, a color
composition, and not
photographic reproduction and
hyperrealism. It is all in an
effort to explore an
unconventional approach toward
emotional and psychological
investigation, and to reach a
balance between two
perceptions. The paintings
often lead to an imagined
narrative and all its
implications as a conceptual
representation of the
subject's thoughts.
