The urban landscape is a reference point for the shapes and images I create in paintings, monotypes, drawings, and one-of-a-kind artist’s books. Although this idea concerns the environment and is somewhat thematic, the work is abstract in that I use shapes, colors and geometric forms to express in paint, the feelings engendered by life in the concrete world.

I transform what I see into a painting populated by shapes, colors, nonexistent dwellings and containers surrounded by fictitious plants, animals, and strange forms of life. These elements become characters in a visual drama within the picture plane, choreographed to take place during the time the work is viewed, much like music or film.
