My current practice is focused on exploring modern and contemporary abstract tendencies without surrendering the imperative initial figurative impulse. My work has a strong foundation in drawing, allowing me to improvise compositions that suggest natural forms. Through the exploratory nature of this process, I aim to extend my versatility and expressive range to convey the vulnerability and fragility of the human condition. Lately, the prominent thematic threads in my work have included crowds, battles, global conflicts, and protests as well as imagined urban and fantastic landscapes.
I want to make paintings that surprise me, that balance technique and the overall composition and retain a record of the painting's creation in the final image.
