ABOUT MY ART

Today’s human condition is under increasing assault from mounting problems and complexities. This confrontation has led to isolation, inner turbulence, exhaustion, and even painful, restless sleep.The contemporary painter, through observing, sensing, and perceiving the existing conditions, creates abstract and expressive works that draw the viewer into reflection and imagination. Through brushstrokes, color, form, and the painterly arrangement of elements, the artist creates unconventional works that captivate the viewer and invite exploration.Undoubtedly, the viewer’s judgment depends on how the artwork penetrates their awareness and influences their emotions and thoughts. Yet the viewer learns to respond directly to the visible relationships of color, shape, and composition, free from preconceived notions or judgment, and to experience a pure and deeply personal aesthetic pleasur.
