While much of my work is conceptually driven, this current series
on canvas reflects a heavily formal outcome of painting language.
The essence of what I’m doing as a creator is a constant grasping
for what comes next wile sensing a self-identity in the type of
attitude I direct into the work.
Finding a relationship between intuitive and formal decisions at
a given moment is an approach I’ve become familiar with, which
has given my visual language a whole new feeling for me. I achieve
this by balancing the mark of the hand with experimenting and
discovering colors, playing with spatial ground, and investigating
how shapes, silhouettes, patterns, and movements can resonate.
Subsequently, memories and stories can resurface in these
forms, yet the entities that surface are rarely predetermined
when I begin a painting. They are but visiting strangers that hold
an idiosyncratic relationship with the viewer.
