"SAFE PLACE" Painting

My life and influences originate in Europe. As a young artist and in general, I grew up increasingly fascinated by nature and all facets of life around me. Through the eyes of a child, I began to recognize the unpredictable nature of people, objects and events, from the unexpected, attractive or bitter, to the spiritual. I’m a firm believer in embracing the energy that surrounds us, be it positive, or perhaps seeking strength. My art reveals a dichotomy between what may be intimate and personal, to what is raw and exposed. Whether I’m capturing the natural or the graphic, my paintings speak to the simplicities in life we experience every day and at any given moment. The subject matter in my paintings manifest my feelings and views toward nature, beauty and love. All the discoveries from the day we were born, to those paths yielding surprising moments and a rainbow of sensations, from light to the profoundly deep. An organic exhibition of how things can be so simple, yet also quite powerful, delivering so much in return. My art offers much more than just a visual reaction. It strives to make a lasting mark by touching your heart, or baring one’s soul. The geometric nature of my compositions represents elements in life that reflect the unpredictability of perfection and joy. Life and nature are energized with chaos, complications and actions, or with reflections and stillness. Relationships between people, earth and all living things. Our moods, swaying us in either direction, the chemistry we possess and share with others, the depth of awareness that makes one blue or fly high, an invitation to love’s passion, pangs of envy, or the intensity of desire. My work elicits a visual statement expressed in degrees of white, which plays a significant role in my paintings, symbolizing my view of the universe. Mystery filled with positive energy, the powerful and spiritual, hopes and dreams we all have and share. Facts or beliefs that drive us toward confidence, conviction and strength of character in the present and future. Through my art, clarity and an open mind ignite a sense of creativity, sparking the ability to discover new things that may have eluded our imagination until then.
