PROFILE

My primary interest rises from experimentation, I tend toward expressive, gestural mark-making that affords me the greatest spontaneity and freedom within abstract painting. Calligraphic overtones point to the oriental arts, while the raw aspects reflect my attraction to the anarchic nature of graffiti. Geometry features strongly in my work, often in opposition to more fluid elements.

I began exploring abstract painting in 1999 while working in design. My attraction to certain artists reflect the aspects of painting and collage that most interest me, such as the work of Robert Motherwell, Victor Pasmore, Malevich, Hans Hartung, Christopher Wool, Pierre Soulages, Antoni Tapies, Bruce Nauman, among many others.

    My pleasure. It is always inspiring to hear what other artists have to say about my work. Your insight seems quite spot on.
    I enjoy seeing your work pop up on my reader.
    Thank you

  2. I share your quest for “the purpose of experiencing the quiddity of being and existence”
    Interior pilgrimage is painful, solitary and it seems that never ends, but it is the only way to find that beam of light that dissipates our darkness.

    • Well, profoundly put Marcelo, I feel it in your photography. I will ponder these things at Machu Picchu next week – I will catch up with your latest shots when I get back. Thank you for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it. V

    • Hi Elaine, I did five years on a Design degree in the UK, working in design for 20 years. I’ve painted most of my life, abstract since 1999. So while I have had a long career in design, I am self-taught with regard to painting. Thank you for asking, how about you?
