ARTIST STATEMENT:
My work explores the relationship between synesthesia, most of abstract and scrap materials. Also, it frequently includes dynamic, sweeping brushstrokes of acrylic paint or black ink on canvas that characterize much of my art. It’s often noted that my paintings/sculpted works convey a controlled but dynamic sense of movement. New synergies are generated from both traditional and modern structures. Mistakes or accidents often turn out to be fortuitous and usually remain. Ever since as a teenager, I have been fascinated by unrelenting divergence of the human condition. What starts out as hope soon becomes finessed hegemony of power, leaving only a sense of chaos and the possibility of a real world .As shimmering forms become frozen through boundaries and repetitive practice, the viewer is left with an epitaph for the edges of our condition
