Artist Statement:
'I am all that has been, and
that is, and that shall
remain, and no one unworthy
has ever unraveled, loosened,
or even touched the surface of
my woven veil.' – ANONYMOUS.
From a carving on an ancient
statue of Pallas Athena––cited
in Plutarch's Lives.
For me, this ancient graffiti
expresses what timeless Art
should be about: And serves as
my credo when I approach each
new endeavor.
Although I love exploring new
techniques, the basic
importance of method, for me,
is to provide a channel
towards breaking out towards
total freedom. I could not be
anything but an expressionist,
even if I tried. That is my
path. But then every artist
who is honest with himself
cannot help but be true to
his/her unique signature, and
follow that impulse wherever
it leads.
My goal is to touch the
“woven veil” of artistic
truth. However, ultimately, a
painting must speak for itself
and take on a life of its own.
It is a child sent out into
the world to fend for itself.
