Artist Statement:
Iconic art, the symbols of
alchemy and the mythology of
culture has always held an
interest for me. I use color
and symbols combined with
familiar imagery to talk about
social issues and stereotypes.
There are specific ideas that
I present in my work, but I
feel it's very important not
to be too specific as I want
the viewer to come to their
own conclusions as to what my
art is trying to say. My
purpose is to make the viewer
think about what they see and
what they believe in, and
create a dialogue. The media I
use in painting is oil and
acrylics mixed in with
metallic substances, such as
gold or aluminum leafing, iron
oxide, or metallic tinted
paint, combined with strong
design and chroma. I want the
work to react to the light
changes in the environment,
and be an active participant
in the space. The strong color
combined with the wood I
prefer to paint on is to echo
the medieval byzantine iconic
painting of which I find much
inspiration. It's important to
me to combine aesthetic with
content, and this is what I
work to achieve.
