Art is where Igo to explore and express myself
Being an emotionally driven person by nature,I usually like to get a sense of the subject I am working with.
I love painting from life that surronds me,its hard to match the thrill of painting En Plein Air.I try to explore a dialogue between abstraction and realism and the "dance"or "tension "between the two.
I want to say something specific about my reaction to a place or a moment in time,to capture the essence but not the whole.My paintings are a journal of ongoing conversation a record of observation and expression of an idea, the life of feeling.
I try to let the passage of time dictate the direction of each piece.I use colour to show my excitment over the process of creativity.
My journey to painting has been a natural progression,allowing me to continue to express myself in an individualistic way;to create a sensory illusion.I am enjoying exploring with different mediums and the challenge is always of taking my art to a new and exciting level.
