Desert landscapes are often environments of pure abstraction, where clarity, emptiness, and silence can simultaneously be a physical and psychological experience. Painting in the desert has helped me to understand that abstraction and representation pervade my art in a permanent interplay, one always harbors characteristics of the other. In that place where the world drops away, I continue to discover innate beauty in the exquisite patterns left by the flow of nature. The Earth is my endless source.
Abstract paintings are made in layers using chance and arbitrariness. Through the construction and deconstruction of paint I create deliberate pictorial structures and landscapes of my imagination. Art is my personal alchemy; I use it for healing both body and mind. Art is become a ritual, a type of consciousness that allows me to enter the cosmic space. The physicality of working on large canvases or supports allows one to interact with creation on a molecular level. There is no barrier between me and the canvas. Bending, scraping, caressing, stroking, and bruising all become part of the physical nature of the painting and these references are always visible. The nature of working with paint and canvas is often like this dance of life, sometimes you must be firm and unyielding
and at other times soft, yielding and compliant.
