My work explores the human figure and bimorphic abstract representation. I work with varnish so to create transparent layers of color that allow the image to be reworked. Color is an important part of each piece. My palette consists of bold colors and sharp contrasts to give each piece a rich atmosphere. It is important to dig deeper than the surface, the skin, and locate the essence that makes a human. In this, I find a way to connect; a way to make a portrait, building from the cellular level out. These are personal views translated into paintings: open and raw material from my mind to the paper.
