Statement of work:

The focus of my artistic intention is well described by the following quote from Stephane Mallarme: “Peindre non la chose, mais l’effet qu’elle produit”, as the importance lies in the emotion that is evoked by viewing art. Painting to me is like poetry. While working in any media I try to distill my thoughts in order to express the essence of what lies beneath the surface. The emphasis on the simplicity of line and importance of space is seen in most of my work. My wish is to express an increasing concern with the fragility and impermanence of nature and our existence, as well as to evoke a sense of the transience of being and mystery of the unknown.
