My paintings are quite simple, actually. They are vast, open fields with thrustful
strokes of intertwining, gestural information. They are perforations, slits,
enlargements of microcosms with deep roots that focus on, and involve, the
marriage of organic matter/ living systems and a spontaneous focus of creating
something beautiful; an interpretation through the simple act of painting. These
landscapes, and their abstracted offshoots, reference abstract expressionism, yet
contemporize themselves and bury any nostalgic notion by way of unparalleled
application techniques and tools. In turn, these visual and energetic fields,
unembellished at first glance, thus become complex. The variegated systems
depict scenes that comprise both acceptance and rejection, forceful and
unapologetic. I guess my paintings are not so simple.
