I have always been interested in painting. For many years since I was a kid I used pen and paper to explore my thoughts and ideas. Everything changed when I discovered that painting allowed more freedom and clarity to articulate my ideas, thoughts and emotions.

In my work I seek to complement the moments I encounter. I attempt breaking down life to its visual essentials, light, dark, movement, tone and shape. In so doing perhaps I can reveal a new perspective. I enjoy capturing the essence of a moment, telling a story of color and pattern that the eye and camera cannot see.

I consider a painting complete when the idea I am trying to express matches the thoughts in my mind. Often this process leaves me naked and feeling exceptionally vulnerable. If somebody, while looking at my painting gets that special feeling of something personal, I’m satisfied. I wonder how I’ll ever find time to capture all the visions going through my head. The more I paint, the more I leave unpainted.
