  Artist Statement

   

              Several different ideas have developed over time and are now combining into the main body of my artwork. The idea for the “Sacred Geometry” series is loosely based on the concept of squaring the circle, it is the visual expression of the symbolic mysteries of life itself. The expression "squaring the circle" is used as a metaphor for doing something logically or intuitively impossible. This becomes the challenge in each of these complex overlapping of the geometric shapes and using visual depth to separate and delineate the shapes.

• Windows of Color

  The overall concept for the “Windows of Color” series tries to combine realism with abstraction by looking at realistic subject matter, like landscape, the figure and still life through abstract windows. I also try to show the contrast of shape, color and texture by combining several geometric and organic shapes, with different color schemes and textures into one coherent design. I incorporate color contrast into the designs by using different concepts of basic color theory, as well as, the contrasting geometric shapes with organic shapes in many of the compositions. By using the “illusion of depth” in the two dimensional painting, I am trying to create different abstract windows. These concepts are achieved by manipulating the more concrete Elements of Art with the abstract concepts of the Principles of Design.

• Body, Mind & Soul

  The Body, Mind & Soul series combines all these concepts and also explores symbolism and spiritualism by representing the human body, mind and our spiritual nature with different geometric designs from sacred geometry. The circular arc in these paintings represents the dividing line between the physical world and the spiritual nature of human beings. The complex backgrounds become an abstract organic or geometric element in the compositions. I like for the viewer to become involved in the complexity of the artwork, over a period of time, so that the viewer can contemplate the visual concepts and put their own meanings and life experiences into their interpretations of the paintings. All of these concepts and the elaborate backgrounds are used to portray the beauty of our physical existence with landscape as a proof of the creative force in this universe, by what ever name you choose to give it.
