My work is a personal journey of exploration into the realm of the spiritual through the alchemy of paint, color, light, texture and the poetics of space. My paintings are records of this intuitive journey.

My paintings are densely layered compositions made over time with numerous layers of think and thin washes and glazes. I start with calligraphic-based gestural marks, solid forms and shapes which then begin to disintegrate as the layers explode and implode, are added, rubbed out, reapplied, scoured into and scraped away and built back up until the distinctions between the foreground and the background and the spatial hierarchy begin to dissolve somewhat akin to layers of memory and give way to another, ephemeral sense of form and visual phenomena.

Nebulous Rings

The idea of the painting inspires friendship between the hands and the infinite reaches through a few tools, foreshadowing destiny.
The image that collapses from my eyes inhales the fallen comets from the beast’s sleep.

My hands chase the ripe colors, and the wood deciphers itself through the madness of the golden lines that wish to be destiny’s origin.
My left eye embodies the woven mirror signalling the approach of the botanical dreams.
The skin of the mirror is the slender shadow of the tall forests which throws on my fingers the knots that provoke the burst of the warp and weft
My right eye waters the idea of watering.

The hidden caves echo within the nebulous rings of our depth.
Suddenly you become the irrigated memory, I, the extension of the forgotten.
