Artist Statement
Influenced by my training as an architect, my love of color and textures and my observation of the environment that surround us I immerse myself in a challenging adventure each time I confront a white canvas.
Abstract painting allows me to express my inner self. My journey is in continuous evolution. Each piece is an exploration, an expression of the moment, that starts with conscious or unconscious marks.
It continues with layers of paint that respond to a dialogue that have formed between the piece and myself. Color, texture, and found materials add a distinct individuality to my paintings and collages.
