Artists' Statement

My style is an abstraction of the figurative. I like color, volumetric shape and graphic lines. While one knows my subject one knows more fully the spirit of the subject.. I take my liberties and express my emotions in a poetic interpretation. The abstractions facilitate a direct expression of the core essence of my subject.

Currently, I paint the river Grosne. I use this subject to explore the essence of the countryside and nature. On one level the subject is the Grosne, and the profound question is how to present a landscape in its true complexity and vividity. Therefore I am working to find a visual language to express the inherent beauty and complexity of nature without trivializing it.
