Artist Statement

 

 

My paintings are a process of personal investigation of a soul, there is many stories to be felt through the visual finish presentations. These pieces shape their lines through my exposure with life, and commanding a mystery in finding your way through my work, not just as an image but a map of a soul.

 

 

Painting

There are patterns of  ideas in them when I started, but quickly they were directed by my work and experience in abstract art, guided with senses and integration of paint on the canvas with different mediums, and finally sorting these puzzles and discovering the final solution. I work with layers of thick to thin acrylic colours which are washed or scrubbed with water and different tools to create textures and mix of colour, there are gestural and traces of action painting with drippings and splattered paint all adding sense of accumulation and sense of time which encompasses every piece.

 

 

 

Photography

Technique is called lightscribe photography, where a light source is used as brush and camera is used as the canvas to capture the image drawn by the artist. Result is powerful revelation of light dancing with hughes of background and foreground, telling a story of light that danced in ecstasy before being vanished forever.

 

The pieces connect with observer as many levels, there are human elements inside each frame, as rigid lines convey speed and bold atmosphere, and smooth subtle lines hold happy and eccentric moments.

   

 

 

Sculptures

These pieces are formed with scrap metal and substantial bases capturing a moment of a piece about to burst or snap shot of a ball traveling towards you. These works have both momentum and energy captured in them.

 

Each sculpture is subtle and formed with steel pieces welded together to form the grand effect, each one is painted or varnished after rusted with elements of nature.
