Untitled Painting

My abstract landscapes are interpretations of what I see around me. The series is about expression and movement. I also believe that colour can influence and transform the human experience. I work spontaneously on creating to create an emotional impact of colours, texture, light, atmospheric condition and composition of ground and space. Rhythm, pattern and process are a fitting description at the essence of my work . Each of my abstract acrylic paintings explores expressive linear gestures, mark- making, unique textures and layering, which often creates the illusion of energy, movement and space. I am happiest and I feel rewarded when I can achieve a work that is compelling, meditative, insightful and also illicit thought. I am definitely an active painter in the sense that I do not use an easel, but instead I lay the stretched canvas on a table in my studio, constantly moving it around, working from each side and angle until the painting is complete. Working in this manner allows me the freedom to engage in the piece in its entirety and not just from one perspective. Using layers of paint applied with my hands, comma as well as numerous tools, adds to the physicality of my process and helps me connect with the composition.
