Abstraction (red) Painting

I was born and raised in Manhattan and studied fine art at the High School of Music & Art in NYC. I pursued my studies in painting and printmaking at Purchase College and the School of Visual Arts in New York. My work develops intuitively and incorporates diverse layers, which alternate consecutive, conscious, deliberate, and unpredictable interventions. The material of my painting is obtained primarily by the use and subtle mixture of highly pigmented oil paint and cold wax. This medium allows my work to evolve through complex processes of superimposition, using additive and subtractive techniques throughout their creation. I draw inspiration from both the conscious and unconscious mind, and from the urban environment in which I reside.
