Artist Statement:
The next painting will be the
best. It has been an ongoing
struggle for perfection –
being able to break through
mental and physical barriers,
pushing the envelope to
realizing and developing that
vision until ultimately a
style is born. Then taking
that style and working it
until it cannot be developed
further and only then moving
on to adapt this to new ideas,
taking you on a journey of
versatility and determination
to the next painting.
I am always looking to improve
on each work so as to fine
tune my coordination between
body, mind and spirit with
emphasis on reaching the point
whereby my hands almost are
moving without consciously
guiding them. Speed is an
integral part of the process
as it forces one to not dwell
on exactitude rather it forces
a continuous flow of
inspiration and passion. My
concept of painting is the
journey of struggle and
determination for perfection
in every aspect of my work -
from design and composition to
color and form. A journey that
never ends. Each style fits
into a plan, like a road map
to the future and sometimes
the direction is not always
forward, but like a continuous
ebb and flow ...
