Art Statement
I feel that recently my painting has taken
on a new clarity. By immersing myself deeply in the idea that form tells story
and color tells emotion; I have gained new sensitivity to my work.
I paint with acrylics; which allows me a
rapid execution. My colors are bright and full of emotions. As I listen to
music, my brush dances on the surface of the canvas. The result is an image
showing movement. The colors give the strength to the picture.
The muse for my canvas comes from the
energies of the people around me. I dedicate each painting to someone. Then,
intuitively I choose a picture that corresponds to them. I used photographs of
my hikes to the mountains and also cityscapes. They provide the shapes for my
paintings.
When I first started my journey, I looked
to the past, to classical art, for inspiration. Now, my creativity comes from
the present. This awareness frees me to paint what I see around me. In this
search to express myself, I find myself pulled toward abstraction.
