My artistic inspiration draws from various sources, as much from the techniques of the Old Masters as it does from our everevolving contemporary culture. My primary aim is to create paintings which deliver a powerful emotional impact, or which exude a captivating force of energy. For me, the essence of painting lies not so much in what is represented, but rather in how it will affect the viewer. My art is an amalgamation of influences, from the Abstract Expressionists to the Renaissance, combining emotional rawness and mark-making with the timeless elements of composition, light, and movement.
My work is further shaped by contemporary culture and my own personal experiences. I infuse a classical essence into my
creations while exploring new visual paths, ultimately delving into the very purpose of painting itself. My pressing urge is to use
paint to explore new forms which will ultimately carry emotional weight. I try to never recreate an image. Instead, I may use it as a
reference point for moving from one painting to the next. I want my paintings pose a series of questions, rather than offering clear-cut statements or narratives. I find joy and satisfaction in this pursuit, as the process becomes a reflection of my continuous search for something that may remain elusive-an exploration without an endpoint.
