Artist Statement:
I have always been interested
in figurative works. Most of
my works are imaginary, but
the subject matter and people
depicted, for the most part,
are real to me. I believe
that my paintings do not
require explanation. I would
like the viewer to come up
with their own interpretations
and perhaps create a story of
their own. I am fascinated in
recreating a story, between
two entities. People vs
people, human vs nature,
person vs self. These sorts
of dynamics create each and
every person`s lives distinct
and the stories that result
out of it inspire me. Figures
dominate my work because my
interpretations of these
relationships filters most
strongly through people. I am
interested in details of how a
look, a hand placemnt, the
parting of lips or the curve
of a back possess the ability
to communicate to a viewer -
the mood of the situation, the
story that is happening and
the emotions that go with it.
I am happy when I can tell a
story through such subtle
nuances of body language in
the figures I create.
