Artist Statement:
To me, a true work of art can
be described as a
juxtaposition of complexity
and simplicity. Art must be
filled with strong emotional
content and be based on the
perception, expectations and
experiences of the artist. I
always make every effort to
create my paintings based on
these three concepts, but most
especially, art must be
timeless, with as much
intrinsic relevance in today's
world as in the future.
One of the major objectives in
creating my paintings in my
desire to fulfill an emotional
response, rather than focusing
on the subject matter. I
always choose to present my
work in strong, bold colors,
with an overall reliance on
lines and forms to give it its
distinctive nature. Through
the use of these colors and
forms, the subject is
transformed into its
essential, formative concepts,
both of simple and complex
nature....
