Artist Statement:

I have the desire, a deep passion to create. The process of creating helps me maintain myself, because I have developed a need of expressing myself visually. The sources of my inspiration come from nature and experiences around and inside me.

I have always been curiously fascinated by the complexity of the world and the nature that surrounds us daily. I like to take fractions of what I see in my daily experience and convert it into created objects or expressions. The images are only elements through which I can explore the limits of colors, brush strokes, as well as my emotions and feelings.

I push and pull the limits of my materials. I believe it is important to push the limits to the extremes between total destruction and beauty, in order to find the absolute potential of the explored images and ultimate means of expression. In order to push the limits to the extreme, I have to be loose, free, and expressive rather than attached to the limits and details of reality. I have to be open to explore the capacity of brush strokes, colors relationships and interactions, as well as the composition of lines and shapes.

My recent work is simplified and minimalistic. My emphasis is to create an atmospheric and exiting surface. I focus on the interactions between texture, color and lines within the piece. The object is hidden within simplified shapes. I want the viewer to experience a personal connection with the work's presence...so that the work itself is ever-changing.
