Artist Statement


The paintings I create are my connections to any city, mountain or coast I visit. I’m fascinated by the everlasting relationship I have with every place I visit, even if in passing, even if just once and even if I never go back there again.

I associate urbanscapes, with color & texture and draw extensively from the dynamic rhythm of the nature that surrounds them and strive to re-create that rhythm on the canvas by building a “connection” between the language of abstraction and my perception of the subject.
