Artist Statement:
I construct most of my work using over diluted acrylic, ink or watercolor on paper or canvas. The surface lies horizontally during the process of painting and drying to avoid the effects of gravity.
I am inspired by the contradistinctive values of the medium I am using and search for the tension within the selected colors.
Sensitive to oppositions and extremes, I learned to question the authenticity of what appears as face value and to look below the surface.
I strive to create a sense of solidity and fluidity which is achieved by the repetitive, meditative action of creating within one image autonomous effects; the directness
of my brushstroke against the rushing and gradual fading of the color towards the white of the background.
In my work, Little Collages in Color, I experience a framed opening or infinite openness. With the gesture of a brush stroke I aim to unify the many layers of a single, defined space. This specific body of work lies in this dialectic of deconstructing/reconstructing—like
the images of the portuguese tiles, called “azulejos” which together form a larger, harmonious, open and hopeful pattern that is greater than their individual presence.
Within one or multiple brushstrokes, my intention is to suggest intimate but forward movement, a limitless movement in time and space. I seek to express tension in harmony, movement in stillness.
I am looking for what is unrevealed.
