I am fascinated by the variety, complexity, beauty and seduction of abstract art. I have always been intrigued by surrealism and abstract art. I have made this my main practice of art; I am a subconscious artist, whereby I paint, draw, install, sculpt and even write from my altered conscious state. My work is based on abstract – not to be mistaken for non-objective art – and is a translation of a real life experience, a thought and/or a dream and is a complete exaggeration of ‘my perception’ of reality. I call my work “Subconscious Works of Art”.
As an artist, I find it necessary to be inventive, self-expressive, searching, daring, even disturbing; and in doing so, I am hoping to enlighten and open ways for a better understanding of my art. Wonder is an important factor in my style of art, something that makes it valuable and unique, this wonder can transport the viewer to somewhere new – it can place them in a different state of mind. It can create a new feeling, vision or experience that exists outside of the rules of realism. While one may view my work as entirely abstract at a first glance, it is completely organized. Within my work, you will find that I use symmetry in my placement of colors/objects/lines/components of my art. Everything pertaining to placement, design and structure it is thought out. Even the tools/instruments/brushes/palettes I utilize have a purpose. Everything has meaning!
