My art is always experimental.
It starts with a vision... In my spirit I see the image, A beautiful composition of colors of light, movement and emotion, worthy to be brought to life as a painting, and right away a battle begins. All the forces in my world attack that vision or wish to interfere in all sorts of ways. I'm holding to my vision as long as I can, as I try to visualize it on the canvas. I always lose at the end, the vision remains a vision, if not completely gone. The canvas is merely a documentation of the battle, of the heroic fight of spirit and matter. I lose my vision. I gain having the battle. You... can enjoy the story of it in the colors, shapes and marks, left on the canvases.
