I consider my work a meeting point between emotion and reality. In certain moments, dreams and imagination come into play, helping me seek balance between my inner world and the world around me. At the same time, I believe the canvas becomes a kind of story, where the viewer is free to listen and perceive their own feelings and emotions.

By pushing into the abstract in some cases or the hyper-realism in others, I aspire to creating images that challenge or, in the most extreme cases, subvert what we think we know about how what we call reality renders itself to us.
I often think of my paintings as visual poetry. Just as poetry distills emotion and meaning through rhythm, structure, and metaphor, I try to evoke similar layers of resonance through color, texture, and composition. There’s an economy of language in poetry that I find parallels the expressive choices I make in painting—how a single brushstroke or shift in tone can capture a complex emotional state.
I have always loved the texture and paint strokes of oil. I love the three di-mensional feel of it and I try to achieve that with heavy impasto brush strokes. One of my approaches is to use underpainting and glazing to achieve brilliance. It can be done in oil, but it is time consuming. Acrylics dry within minutes and allow you to almost immediately glaze over the underpainting. I use almost every paint tool designed to build up layers , lay in fine lines and blend soft boundaries in skies. Acrylics allow endless layers of paint as the image is built up and I think it results in depth and complexity
When I start a painting, I have a blank canvas. I don't sketch the design out; I freeform it with spontaneity. In my mind, I know how the design is going to be, but I approach it like a jazz musician—I freeform it.
