This is Original mixed media Abstract painting

Across the railroad tracks, down the gravel road
headlights throw a beam on the way back home
lie down, lie down, listen wide awake
to the trains that roll, to the sound time makes

It passes through the air like a summer storm
catching on my sleeve like a roses thorn
sometimes it whispers, sometimes it roars
flies like the wind, waits by the door
And I know you know and that’s all I need
When the light of day looks like night to me
When you’re far away and I’m all alone
I can’t explain, I know you know

It fills up my chest, it fills up my eyes
like an old glass jar filled with fireflies
sometimes I’m still, sometimes I sigh
sometimes I’m lost and I don’t know why
But I know you know and that’s all I need
When the light of day looks like night to me
When you’re far away and I’m all alone
I can’t explain, I know you know

In the morning light, before the heat sets in
call the dogs to run where the shade has been
across the railroad tracks lay your silver down
find it smooth and flat, stars for your crown

In the blue distance where our lives unfurl
at the edges of the sky, the beauty of the world
I know you know and that’s all I need
When the light of day looks like night to me
When we’re far away and we’re all alone
I can’t explain, I know you know

I’m Canadian abstractionist, an artist synesthetes*, Abstract Expressionist. Emotions are very important to me. When you are in art all your life is at this particular moment. It’s like improvisation in music. You need explain all life in one moment, in one phrase, in one white square… Emotion is a relationship with other people. My art is a relationship with others too. I like challenge, I like to make something new every day, on the end I like to win. And more important I like to win Every day. For me to finish my canvas is like red line for the runner or reaching the peak of a mountain for a climber, I will die for this. I love colours, I love paint, and I love canvas, white canvas. I like even prepare canvas for painting, I just love to be an artist. When I’m painting I feel like a runner, marathon 42 km. runner dying for red line, dying to reach the finish line. I feel like the climber whose single goal driving him all the time is to reach the peak of the mountain. I want to succeed. I love to win. I feel myself so liberated when create art. First, because I can produce something that is influence on human’s mood or state of mind, and second, because I can escape this reality. And I like this feeling. My paintings have been sold for years to offices, shops and private residences in Canada, Australia, USA, Europe etc. Up until now in 18 countries. I am continuously developing my style of painting, keeping it interesting for you to come back for another visit. Don’t hesitate to contact me, I will be happy to answer all your questions. Thank you for your interest hope you like it! synesthetes* - Synesthesia in art has referred to a wide variety of Atits experiments that have explored the co-operation of the senses e.g. seeing and hearing; the word synesthesia is from the Ancient Greek, "together," and Aisthēsis, "sensation". In the genres of visual music, abstract film, abstract film, music visualization, audiovisual art and intermedia.
