Bridging Past and Present
My artistic journey is fueled by both the masterful techniques of the Old Masters and the vibrant energy of contemporary culture. I strive to create paintings that evoke strong emotions or radiate a captivating energy. The power of my work lies not in strict representation, but in the emotional impact it has on You the viewer.
Abstract Evolution: Bridging the Classical and the New
My artistic journey is fueled by a constant search for beauty and a desire to push boundaries. "Embracing Beauty" exemplifies this pursuit, where abstract forms resonate with the light, composition, and at time perhaps references historical paintings or old masters whom I admire and desire to emulate.
I embrace a flexible approach, experimenting with multiple canvases simultaneously to fuel creativity and spontaneity. Inspired by both Abstract Expressionism and Renaissance masters, I find harmony between bold gestures and timeless techniques [ This artistic freedom allows for surprising results and keeps my passion ignited.
