PORTFOLIO
Abstract painting allows me to create in the most free and expressive way. It demands that I listen to my inner voice, take risks, and be comfortable with not having any real beginning or ending; It requires that I be fully present during the journey of the making. I have to trust my intuition to know when it is complete in its expression. It’s a metaphor for the way I try to live my life.
My intention is to represent the profound strength of universal spirit, human consciousness and transformation, marrying the form with the formless and striving to create a new language out of abstraction.
