Artist Statement:
I utilize acrylic paints, often combined with other media, on wood panels and canvases. Typically, I start my abstract paintings without a specific vision in mind; instead, I rely on intuition, allowing the artwork to unfold organically through color, composition, and texture. A recurring theme in my work is the passage of time as it relates to both living organisms and inanimate objects. Additionally, my long-standing passion for drawing people leads to the inclusion of figures in many of my pieces.
