Artist Statement


For each force there is a reciprocal force.

 

While I paint, things happen as the work progresses.  I have a primary image in my mind which develops into the rest of the picture field..

I have to work actively on the field to abstract  my comprehension  of what I feel,  and imagine forms and colors that will be in equilibrium  on the canvas..

 

I consider myself a colorist  working with abstract forms and colors.  My paintings are non  representational..

 

The important thing for me is to arrange these forms and colors on the  pictorial field to achieve a balanced composition..

 

I work simultaneously with positive and negative shapes, placing equal importance on both . My goal is to achieve a vibrant piece of work with forms and color interweaving with each other with order and  equilibrium, arranging shapes and deciding on colors according to the way I want to accomplish my needs and the final balance of the painting .I always think of the whole and not the parts and have to have the canvas completely covered in a short time. to be able to look at the whole. Empty spaces distract me.  I saturate the colors  to make a strong composition,  making  each color and shape counteract  another ,  and  with this  equilibrium,   expressive variations will appear.  I balance  all relationships as they are developed and  intuitively search for a complete image. One part of the painting triggers an idea for the rest.  My  non representational forms will flow as part of a rhythmical interplay.

 

The result is a vibrant, balanced composition. My art is doing.
