Artist
Statement
My work characterizes itself
by the fluidity of organic
forms and a distinctive sense
of color. The overwhelming
beauty of harmony and the
captivating rhythm and mood of
my surroundings emerges freely
throughout the surface. The
inner search for a connection
to the Hidden Essence of it
all becomes alive with new
forms of self-expression. My
technique is solid but
elastic, that is, it adapts
itself to what the painting
asks of me. Everything counts
and shapes the idea/perception
or emotion I need to
convey....
