BIOGRAPHY

This body of work is focused on color and its subtleties. It starts with a focus on discovering color as it manifests itself in natural/seasonal transitions and moves on to cosmic projections evoked through the language of geometry. Natural minerals, natural pigments and precious metals make for the palette offered by the Universe as it unfolds Itself. The moment captured is critically between integration and dis-integration. 

This collection is also caught in a transnational flux. During its making we were living between two worlds, physically, spiritually and mentally. Political decline and negative movements in both the East and the West took with them the final dregs of nationalism and identity. This de-construction also forced an aniconic and minimalist abstract motivation. The loss of national identity led to a further strengthening of identity based on the Spirit and Tradition. 

The covert and overt celebration of religious and spiritual ideals fuels both discipline and practice. The very essence of objectivity is the capability to transcend oneself. The work of the artist is a conscious attempt to apolitically transfer the breadth and density of the energy felt and discovered (or re-discovered).
